The study, conducted by the Labour Muslim Network (LMN), revealed that 55 percent of Muslim members said they do not “trust the leadership to tackle Islamophobia effectively.” A further 59 percent, including supporters outside the party, said they do not feel “well represented by the leadership.” The survey also found that more than a quarter of Muslims have experienced Islamophobia within the party. About 48 percent of Labour’s Muslim members said they do not have confidence in the party’s ability to deal with complaints “effectively.” The survey also found that 44 percent think that Labour is failing to take Islamophobia “seriously.” Labour has said it will meet with the LMN to find a solution to the “scourge” of Islamophobia.
