Take a bow @TanDhesi 👏🏽👏🏽

This is what unity and solidarity against prejudice looks like.

Sikhs are so often the victims of Islamophobia as they are often misrecognised by racists. Many are responding to our inquiry at https://t.co/XHRfYyCORQ

All Scottish Political Parties in Holyrood have agreed to adopt the definition of Islamophobia! #IslamophobiaDefined #AFightForAllOfUs

[Willie Rennie @willie_rennie]

On behalf of the @scotlibdems I have signed up to the agreed definition of Islamophobia. Credit to the @APPGBritMuslims for their two-year inquiry. We must stand together against racism and hatred.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Seeing @AnasSarwar raise #IslamophobiaDefined in the Scottish Parliament today and the warm response from @NicolaSturgeon was a personal professional highlight. A real credit to the team effort of @APPGBritMuslims and @CPGIslamophobia. #AFightForAllOfUs

[British Muslims @APPGBritMuslims]

After the leadership shown by @NicolaSturgeon at today’s #FMQs it was great to meet with @ClydesdAileen Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government in @ScotParl #IslamophobiaDefined

[British Muslims @APPGBritMuslims]

An excellent meeting with @KenMacintoshMSP Presiding Officers in the @ScotParl highlighting our definition. Grateful for the hospitality provided to the @APPGBritMuslims officers @wesstreeting @SayeedaWarsi #IslamophobiaDefined

[British Muslims @APPGBritMuslims]

An excellent question from @AnasSarwar calling on @NicolaSturgeon to adopt @APPGBritMuslims definition of Islamophobia. Real leadership shown by the First Minister committing to adopting the definition & also leading from the front on tackling Islamophobia. #IslamophobiaDefined

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

It was great to be in the chamber for this. Very proud of the progress we’ve made with the @APPGBritMuslims and @CPGIslamophobia.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Outstanding question from @AnasSarwar on Islamophobia and superb response from @NicolaSturgeon. She’s right - it should not be left to Muslims to fight Islamophobia. Delighted by her commitment to “lead from the front”. A proud moment for @CPGIslamophobia and @APPGBritMuslims.

[Muslim Council Scot @MuslimScot]

Our Vice Convenor Asim Sheikh & Head of Media Zara Mohammed attended the @CPGIslamophobia and @APPGBritMuslims on the definition of #Islamophobia in Scottish Parliament

[British Muslims @APPGBritMuslims]

Huge support from a wide-range of organisations in Scotland. Muslim, Jewish, Humanist, Inter-faith councils and many others alongside @CPGIslamophobia today endorsed the @APPGBritMuslims definition of Islamophobia. #IslamophobiaDefined
