Council Motion A Proposer Cllr Cawley-Harrison Seconder Cllr Bull In accordance with Council Standing Order 25.1, notice is provided of the intention to suspend Council Standing Orders: 13.1, 15.6 b [i] and 15.6 b [iii] at the Full Council AGM meeting on Monday 20th of May for consideration of item 16. This is to allow Motion B to be jointly proposed by Cllr Ejiofor and Cllr Morris and to be jointly seconded by Cllr Chenot and Cllr Moyeed. This Motion will also allow the proposers to have 5 minutes each to move Motion B, and remove the right of reply.
Motion B
The All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims definition of Islamophobia
Proposer: Cllr Ejiofor, Cllr Morris Seconder: Cllr Chenot, Cllr Moyeed Haringey is home to people of many faith and ethnicities. Amongst them are an estimated 36,130 Muslims. This Council is proud of that diversity and believes Haringey’s Muslim residents are an important asset to the borough, have the same rights as all other groups and individuals, and are as worthy of the same respect as any other resident in, and outside of, Haringey.

In light of this, the Council expresses its gratitude for the work done by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims to produce a definition of Islamophobia. Council notes: 1. That on the 27th November 2018, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims published a report entitled Islamophobia Defined: the inquiry into a working definition of Islamophobia. Amongst its conclusions are that: a) British Muslims “have a strong sense of belonging to Britain and of feeling part of British society” and are “more likely than the British public as a whole to say that their national identity is important to their sense of who they are”. b) Despite this, negative attitudes towards British Muslims are prevalent among their fellow citizens and that this contributes to multiple forms of discrimination including a “growing number of Islamophobic hate crimes”. c) That Islamophobia can negatively impact non-Muslims. For example, Sikhs have been targeted with abuse by people who misidentify them as Muslims. d) “adopting a definition of Islamophobia will demonstrate to ... view the full agenda text for item 17.
