Abstrak	Responding to recent calls made within the UK Parliament for a government-backed defini tion of Islamophobia, this article considers the unanticipated consequences of such propos als. I argue that, considered in the context of related efforts to regulate hate speech, the formulation and implementation of a government-sponsored definition will generate unfore seen harms for the Muslim community. To the extent that such a definition will fail to address the government s role in propagating Islamophobia through ill-considered legisla tion that conates Islamist discourse with hate speech, the concept of a government-backed definition of Islamophobia appears hypocritical and untenable. Alongside opposing govern ment attempts to define Islamophobia (and Islam), I argue that advocacy efforts should instead focus on disambiguating government counterterrorism initiatives from the govern ment management of controversies within Islam. Instead of repeating the mistakes of the governmental adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) s denition of antisemitism by promoting a new denition of Islamophobia, we ought to learn from the errors that were made. We should resist the gratuitous securitization of Muslim communities, rather than use such definitions to normalize compliance with the surveillance state.
