Sayeeda Warsi attacks the rise of Islamophobia in Britain

Sayeeda Warsi the Tory Party Chair will courageously condemn the rise of Islamophobia in the UK by saying it has passed the dinner table test to become socially acceptable.

LM completely agrees with Warsi who in my opinion is courageous because a significant amount of the prejudice comes from her Party's supporters. How refreshing to see a no nonsense fiery Muslim lass speaking her mind without fear or favour despite the enormous pressures she must face to conform or tone down support for Muslim causes which led to her being banned by David Cameron from attending the Islam Channel GPU.

LM is not a Tory but I salute Warsi who has achieved a remarkable political position for a Muslim woman that would have Enoch Powell and his fellow travellers in the Tory Monday Club appalled at uppity brown natives from the colonies laying it on the line to white racists. However, it should also be pointed out that other leading Tory women have also made sympathetic statements towards Muslims here and here.

How easy it would be for Warsi to simply immerse herself on the Tory Cucumber Sandwich circuit but she has pointedly asserted herself and used the newly acquired status not to distance herself from her Muslim roots but to defend the Niqab and attack the Nazi BNP on Question Time.

Warsi like Sadiq Khan has made mistakes here and here so LM attacked those mistakes but her learning curve appears to be steep and with enemies like "Andy" she provides an excellent contrast to the nutty bearded fruitcakes who denounce the West and democracy yet like the Munafiqeen (hypocrites) they are still live off western State handouts.

Sadly the English who LM wrote about are reverting to normal conduct by attacking anything they deem foreign, previously Jews, Catholics, Blacks now Muslims then the Chinese. Surprisingly my main angst is not so much the EDL who are the public face of racism and frankly we can deal with them confidently by defending our community here and here its those that should know better that acquiesce in small talk down the Pub or the like's of Martin Amis that really annoy me.

Interesting poll today that finds 50% of Brits feel Muslims suffer discrimination
