UK counter-terror funding redirected civic support away from Islamophobia work.

Evidence

As well as restricting what issues were important to Muslims themselves, the political mechanisms preferred by New Labour also restricted whose voices could be heard and, in consequence, who received funding, on what basis and for what purpose. As regards the latter, any funding of Muslim civic society was almost entirely for counter-terror or counter-extremism activities: very little indeed was made available to support those seeking to address Islamophobia. Consequently, not only did Muslim communities have to take responsibility for addressing Islamophobia but they had to do so with their own resources and monies: another significant departure from how national government had historically supported minority communities working towards addressing discrimination. — A.
