Thursday 20th January 2010
The first Muslim woman to be a cabinet member believes Islamophobic views are now socially acceptable. In a speech later, Baroness Warsi will say prejudice against Muslims has passed what she describes as 'the dinner table test'.
Is she right? Massoud Shadjareh, the chair of the Islamic Human Rights Commision says Islamophobia is everywhere, but author and commentator James Delingpole believes the fear of Islamist extremists is justified.
