(GB News) Supporters of a highly-controversial plan to set “appropriate limits to free speech” about Muslims have been given up to £2.6million by the government to police and monitor “Islamophobia.”
The British Muslim Trust has been awarded a £1million-a-year contract by ministers to “combat hate against Muslims.”
The trust — which only launched its website today — replaces the group Tell Mama, which had done the job for the last 13 years but withdrew after what it called a “smear campaign” against it by Islamists and the far-right.
The new group is co-run by the Aziz Foundation, which has said that the government’s counter-extremism Prevent programme “actively harms Muslims.”
