(BBC) An annual campaign challenging Islamophobia is not being taken seriously enough by wider society, a Bradford Muslim author has said.
While Islamophobia Awareness Month had just marked its 10th year, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan said it attracted limited interest beyond Muslim communities.
Tackling Islamophobia was very much seen as a “Muslim issue,” she said.
Nahid Roshanali, from the campaign, said while engagement in the awareness month had grown, more was still needed.
‘Vigorous conversations’
According to its website, Islamophobia Awareness Month (IAM), held every November since 2012, aimed to “showcase the positive contributions of Muslims and raise awareness of Islamophobia in society.”
