Being a Muslim, I know what I'm going to say. This is—. Minister, this Islamaphobia is actually putting people—leading towards violence, marginalisation, exploitation, powerlessness. Islam is the second largest religion in the United Kingdom, and the people here are 99.999 per cent very peaceful and law-abiding citizens here, and contributing to the community and the country at the same time. The worst scenario is only a handful of people who acted wrongly—I accept that; Muslims in the name of Islam—like Europe and London and Manchester and everywhere. But the community at large should not be punished. That is—I think we politicians have failed. We need to understand. I know, since 1970—you're trying to do race relations rules and regulations and laws since 1974. Minister, have we achieved it? It's gone from bad to worse.

Islamaphobia is a minor thing. What we're saying is it's treated badly, insulted and even physically hurt the local people, our young. We are the fourth and fifth generation here. We are not the first generation coming from any third-world country or eastern Europe. Our grandchildren haven't seen our forefathers' land. They know this is their land. And when people tell them, being Muslim—your hijab being taken out, and a woman of a different colour is run over by a car and two young boys have been killed on the name of Islam in this country. It's totally, totally unacceptable.

I think the Government—. I know Welsh Government is doing a wonderful job, but the fact is, in the centre also, the whole United Kingdom must be united on this issue. We're not taking it bit by bit. We must make some rules, educate the media—the media is the worst part of this whole scenario. They are not making any articles. 2017 was the worst year in the history of the United Kingdom for hate crimes: 80,000, Presiding Officer, 82,000 nearly, hate crimes are recorded in this country. You imagine how many every week. So, are we really serving the community with the peace, love and affection that we preach, and political education to all of our communities? No. Where we are wrong—. We politicians have failed. We do not listen, we do not go in the right direction. We do not mix—. What we have done—. The Welsh Government alone cannot tackle this. We need all the communities to go side by side.

Only last month, which Bethan just mentioned, Muslim mosques in the United Kingdom opened their doors, in the severe weather, to the people who are homeless and without food. And those doors were open only for that particular reason, not for that—only for the sake of love as a human being. Forget religion here—not Islamaphobia, not anything else. So, we should go in the right direction. Muslims are trying their best. I was one of those who endorsed that, 'Yes. Open the doors of all mosques. Let the people in the streets go in the mosque in this severe weather', and I'm glad people did it. And they looked after them. We are trying our best, but I think you must go hand-in-hand with each other, shoulder-to-shoulder with each other. I think if there's anything that this country needs—. I'll be the first, and Muslims will be the first, to protect this country; I can assure you that. But media, as I said earlier, and other education systems, which Bethan earlier said—. We must educate the system and this is the time. Please do not wait too long, because it's nearly 50 years and we haven't achieved. We have to do something, Minister, in the next five years—at least in our lifetime. Thank you very much.
