Editorial: The Guardian

• The controversy surrounding lee Anderson’s comments lays bare the Conservative party's long-standing failure to tackle the issue of Islamophobia.
• London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has been a target of racist attacks fueling the discriminatory environment.
• The rise in Islamophobic and antisemitic hate incidents in the UK have been linked with inflammatory political rhetoric.
• The Conservative party has shown reluctance to commit to a definition of Islamophobia and to conduct an independent investigation on the same.

Conclusion: Islamophobia remains a pressing issue within the Conservative party and despite internal criticism, concrete actions have not been taken to address it.
