Glasgow residents are being urged to hold those guilty of islamophobia in their community to account as concerns grow about the “under-reported” hate crime.
This Thursday councillors will be asked to help tackle Islamophobic behaviour in the city ahead of November’s Islamophobia Awareness Month while reaffirming their commitment to oppose racism and discrimination.
A motion by SNP councillor Zen Ghani is being brought before full council later this week which seeks to raise a better understanding of crime motivated by prejudice on the grounds of “actual or perceived religion."
