Homophobic Laws In Middle East Are British Empire’s Fault, Say Muslim Greens
3rd October 2026
The Muslim Greens, an affiliate group of the Left-wing party, made the claim in guidance that outlines how members can identify Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate as part of its code of conduct.
The guidance, published on the Muslim Greens website, is intended for the Green Party in England and Wales. On the website, the group says “queerphobic legislation in many Muslim-majority countries is deeply tied to colonialism”.
It claims that suggesting Muslims are “uniquely queerphobic because of Islam denies acknowledging how modern-day queerphobia is strongly rooted in the British Empire”.
I thank God every day that I don’t live in Britain.
