Instead of new definitions, the Government should re-assert the existing religious-hate framework in a clear, one-page form to give communities confidence in equal protection & help institutions apply the law properly, avoiding special treatment, legal confusion & chilled speech

New CEG report on Islamist Antisemitism covered by @matt_dathan in today’s @TheTimes reports on Home Secretary Yvette Cooper’s comments on the threat from Islamist extremism thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

In his Foreword to the report, @LordBlunkett writes, 'chronicling the genuine danger of allowing antisemitism to emerge wherever and whenever the historic roots of hatred show themselves is a valuable contribution to warnings for the future by reflecting on the past.'

On the report @YvetteCooperMP stated that 'we must be clear about the persistent threat from Islamist extremism…Islamist extremism remains the highest terrorism threat assessed by our security and intelligence agencies in the UK that they work continually to counteract.’
