The Review: Redefining Islamophobia

Every November, the UK recognises Islamophobia awareness month. But without an agreed definition of Islamophobia, how can policy makers and communities tackle it? In 2019, the government was criticised for rejecting a proposed working definition created by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims. The definition, adopted by many states that Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness. So, how important is it we have one definition for all?

The Review: Syria - Past, Present and Future

In March 2011, inspired by the Arab Spring, Syrians complained peacefully about unemployment, corruption and a lack of political freedom. When the government used deadly force against protesters, opposition supporters took up arms, first to defend themselves and later to rid their areas of security forces. The conflict has left more than 370,000 people dead including over 112 thousand civilians, of whom 21,000 were children and 13,000 women. With the pandemic taking centre stage on the world arena, has Syria become the forgotten war?
