Islamophobia

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s supporter network made threats to kill Muslims; and whether any investigations have been conducted as a result of those reports.

Answer

This Government takes extremism seriously and we are committed to ensuring we have the required tools and powers needed to address this issue. Efforts to counter extremism span a broad range of Government and law enforcement activity and we must persist in our efforts to challenge extremist narratives, disrupt the activity of radicalising groups, and directly tackle the causes of radicalisation.

Where the actions of individuals cross a legal threshold, the police will investigate and bring charges where there is evidence to support this.
