At the end of October, the influential Conservative-linked thinktank Policy Exchange published a report entitled The Hijacking of British Islam, which claimed that 26 out of nearly 100 mosques surveyed had been found to be selling "extremist material, some of it antisemitic, misogynistic, separatist and homophobic".
Seamus Milne from the Guardian questions the veracity of the report and the motivation of its authors in light of statistics which show that Asian people are now twice as likely to be stabbed to death in Britain as a decade ago, and four out of five convictions for religiously aggravated offences last year involved attacks on Muslims.
