British Muslims ‘fear for their future’ under Conservatives as Labour’s disastrous night blamed on ‘poison of antisemitism’

They had held”long-standing concerns about bigotry in our politics and our governing party”, a statement from the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said.

Hawzah News Agency - (London - UK) - British Muslims have said they fear for their future under Boris Johnson‘s Conservative Party, following its crushing win in the general election.

They had held”long-standing concerns about bigotry in our politics and our governing party”, a statement from the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said.

The warning came as Baroness Warsi, a former Tory co-chair and cabinet minister, said the party “must start healing its relationship with British Muslims”.

In a tweet, she added: “Endorsements from #TommyRobinson & #KatieHopkins & colleagues retweeting both is deeply disturbing. Independent Inquiry into #Islamophobia is a must first step. The battle to root out racism must now intensify”.

Harun Khan, of the MCB, said on Friday morning: “Mr Johnson commands a majority, but there is a palpable sense of fear amongst Muslim communities around the country. We entered the election campaign period with long standing concerns about bigotry in our politics and our governing party. Now we worry that Islamophobia is ‘oven-ready’ for government.

“We understand that the prime minister insists that he is a one-nation Tory. We earnestly hope that is the case and urge him to lead from the centre and engage with all communities.”

The MCB is the UK’s largest Muslim campaign organisation.
