At a ceremony held in the British Parliament, Prime Minister Keir Starmer assured that Muslims are “the face of the modern United Kingdom” and promised to move forward with measures to “eradicate Islamophobia”, statements that generated controversy and debate over the country's cultural identity.
The event took place in Westminster Hall, where the daily break of the Ramadan fast was celebrated. To representatives of the Islamic community, Starmer praised his supposed "contribution" to British social and political life and stated that his government will take concrete action against any manifestation of "anti-Muslim hatred”
.
The leftist's statements raised questions in different sectors of society, especially because of the historic Christian tradition in the United Kingdom, which is being destroyed by the “multiculturalism”
of recent British governments.The Labour leader defended his position and recalled that his Executive allocated 40 million pounds to reinforce security in mosques and Islamic centers, as part of the strategy against hate crimes, despite the fact that most attacks are carried out against synagogues and churches, and carried out by Islamic terrorists.
