Muslims Don't Matter
Electronic book text
In recent years there has been an insidious rise in Islamophobia on both the right and the left. From misleading media stories like the Trojan Horse Affair in Birmingham's schools to the hatred directed at Muslim politicians and public figures, this prejudice has gone frighteningly unchecked. This isn't a surprise given that the prime minister Rishi Sunak can't even bring itself to use the word Islamophobia. In Muslims Don't Matter Conservative peer, campaigner and podcaster Sayeeda Warsi challenges the consensus and argues passionately that bigotry should never pass the dinner table test.
