Peter Oborne had a couple (1, 2) of articles in the Independent on Islamophobia in Britain.
An investigation for Channel 4’s Dispatches programme discovered many violent episodes and attacks on Muslims, with very few reported; those that do get almost no publicity.
As I type, Channel 4 are airing Oborne’s It Shouldn’t Happen to a Muslim as part of Dispatches War on Terror series.
One of the claims that will be made in the documentary is that when it comes to ‘Muslim outrage’ stories, you can just make up stories without investigating the facts. An infamous example is the “Muslim hate mob” story which was published The Sun, which turned out to be completely false.
*Dispatches is the same documentary series that received a lot of stick from Muslims over its “Undercover Mosque” programme.
