Defend the freedom to critique Islam – stop ‘Islamophobia’ blasphemy law

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

The Government have said that they are not going to introduce blasphemy laws:
hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2024-12-18/debates/ba455fa1-fb15-4e1b-b4c9-884dfdaeb83e/CommonsChamber#contribution-83E4227E-B766-4980-9AFC-A77C90D20A59

It is therefore unclear what further action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.
