LONDON: A charity worker appointed by the UK government as an advisor on Islamophobia has quit the role before beginning his work over allegations that he received a “torrent of abuse.”
Fiyaz Mughal, founder of the Faith Matters counter-extremism group and the Tell Mama organization, set up to tackle Islamophobia, was set to become the UK’s first lead on tackling anti-Muslim hatred, advising the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
