A timely antidote to the, arguably, twisted characterisation and popular perception of British Muslims in circulation. -- Professor Humayn Ansari, Royal Holloway Considering the light the book throws on the burning issues in British society that directly impact Muslims such as those of Islamophobia, identity, immigration, extremism, terrorism, and integration, it is required reading for anyone - especially journalists, policy makers, and scholars wishing to understand modern British society. -- Akbar Ahmed, American University, Washington, DC, Daily Times of Pakistan Innovative, informative, and incisive, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Muslim-Christian relations. -- Simon Valentine, Church Times
