More than 50 victims of Islamist-inspired terror attacks have signed a joint letter against what they describe as anti-Muslim hate.
They warn it is "irresponsible" for some politicians to equate extremists with "the vast majority of British Muslims who deplore such violence".
Survivors and relatives of those killed during attacks in London, Manchester and Brussels are among the signatories.
It comes as the government prepares to set out a new definition of extremism.
The letter says "Islamist-inspired extremism is the country's most pressing terror threat, but not the only one".
