“The ferocity of recent attacks on Muslims and Islam in the mainstream British media has led many to question what is driving these attempts to incite hatred and fear of our community. Anyone reading the British press over the past few weeks might be excused for imagining that the country is threatened by hordes of Muslims living within its borders, determined to subvert British values and convert its people to Islam, by hook or by crook.”
