Recently, the UK government quietly abandoned plans to create an official definition of Islamophobia. Three years ago, amid mounting pressures to take action on the rise of hate crimes against Muslims and the scandals allegedly exposing "Islamophobia" in the Conservative Party, a decision was taken to define the term officially. In 2018, the All-Party Parliamentary Group defined the term as a "type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness." Labour, Liberal Democrats, and other opposition parties accepted this definition, but the Conservative Party rejected it. But Michael Gove, the current Communities secretary, reportedly opposed the definition, stating it "would be very difficult to get a precise definition" of Islamophobia. He added, "There are dangers if a university or another organization which should be the home of free debate uses a definition like that to police what people can say in order to penalize them for it." While the abandonment of the plan received criticism from various British Muslim organizations, some MPs from both Labour and Conservative Parties and some ex-Muslim individuals and organizations supported the move.
