Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 December 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill.

My hon. Friend is making a very interesting contribution. Does he agree that one of the problems—only one of them—is the high degree of Islamophobia that is reported in many of our newspapers and media all the time? Any discussion about anything to do with the Muslim community rapidly descends into a quite unpleasant area. This is played out in our communities, schools, colleges and streets, and some young people are forced into extreme positions because of it. That is bad, but we should recognise that there is a bigger problem concerning perceptions in society, which has to be challenged.
