Supporters like Laurence Fox and a Telegraph column praised his call to reject the term 'Islamophobia,' citing UK laws that protect religious criticism, while others noted FGM's pre-Islamic roots in some communities. The remarks fuel ongoing UK talks on defining anti-Muslim hatred amid free speech concerns and rising incidents.
