Jacob Rees-Mogg has criticised the government over reports that a formal definition of Islamophobia could be introduced as part of efforts to tackle anti-Muslim hatred.
Speaking on GB News, Rees-Mogg warned that enforcing such a definition could risk limiting free speech and open debate. He argued that while discrimination against Muslims should be condemned, any official definition must be carefully considered to avoid unintended consequences.
The discussion comes as the UK Government is reportedly exploring whether a standardized definition of Islamophobia should be adopted to help authorities and institutions address anti-Muslim discrimination more effectively.
Supporters of the proposal say a clear definition could help public bodies recognise and respond to anti-Muslim hate incidents. Critics, including Rees-Mogg, argue that the policy could blur the line between legitimate criticism of religion and genuine discrimination.
