Amid escalating rhetoric, the MPs on the all-party parliamentary group called for politicians to engage in "calm dialogue with local communities and an end to deliberately inflammatory language intended low cost airline tickets to stoke up community tension".
"What these groups are saying is that they are suffering even more," he told the Guardian. "They already exist in an environment of deep prejudice and community tension anyway.
