Fears have been raised for freedom of speech after Labour launched a major crackdown on Islamophobia.

The Government announced on Monday the creation of an official definition of 'anti-Muslim hostility' and the country's first tsar to tackle it in a £4million drive.

It said the 'valuable guidance tool' would improve measurement of the problem as well as responses to it, with helplines encouraged to record incidents.

Under the new definition, anti-Muslim hostility is defined as crimes such as violence or harassment directed at people who are either Muslim or are perceived to be, as well as 'prejudicial stereotyping' to encourage hatred against them and unlawful discrimination.
