Elon Musk, UK far right, and Islamophobia: Why Humza Yousaf is sounding the alarm

“It happens because of years of anti-Muslim, anti-migrant hatred.”

It’s been several months since Humza Yousaf stepped down in May 2024. Now, the Scottish former First Minister, who in 2023 became the first Muslim leader of a western democracy, is sounding the alarm.
