VIDEO: On Muslim Identity — What Is “British” Islam?

February 19, 2015 By Yasmin Khatun 1 Comment

Muslim identity seems to be the topic de rigueur, an issue that has the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, on his feet and one which has also become a staple for the British and international press. But rather than an informed outlook on a complex issue with many strands, the discussion and debate has only two boxes: one for the “happy” assimilated Muslim and the other an “extremist.”

In this feature for Islam Channel’s news programme, “The Report,” journalist Yasmin Khatun explores the topic, asking “What is ‘British’ Islam?”
