Amjid Bashir, the National Secretary of Scottish Asians For Independence (SAFI), tells the National why the resolution on adopting the definition of Islamophobia in the Scottish Government, an extension from the SNP National Executive Committee, is so important.
'That’s an English problem' is a phrase that is often branded about when talking about Islamophobia however that’s not true. Islamophobia is an evil that exists in Scotland as much as it does elsewhere in Britain.
The actual numbers of cases may vary but as a percentage it’s about the same.
