Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Britain’s first Muslim cabinet minister, has long been an outspoken critic of her own party over its attitudes towards Islam. Last week, after an investigation was launched against her over a post on social media, she resigned the whip saying it is a reflection of ‘how far right’ the Conservative Party has moved since her time in office.

Warsi has just released a book, “Muslims Don’t Matter”, which is an impassioned polemic setting out her views on the hypocrisy and double standards applied to British Muslims.
In this episode of The Political Fourcast, she speaks to Cathy Newman about the Israel-Gaza war, Islamophobia in the UK and the Conservative Party’s “disturbing” shift to the extremist right.
Produced by Silvia Maresca and Calum Fraser.

I don't feel safe in my country.
@dinaf_tommyf
Elegant and insightful, thank you for this interview.
@samiyabutt9759
I love this woman and NO we are NOT leaving so carry on with your islamophobia and racism
@SmolDeBrol
Cathy Newman is such an incisive and fearless reporter. She really challenges her guests, exposes their contradictions, etc… Well she did with (dramatic lack of success) against Jordan Peterson…
Anyway Warsi, could luck with the book sales.
@shakilkamal8194
The problem is due to ignorance and bigotry, the public have been brainwashed with right wing Farage/ Enoch Powell types , and Rupert Murdoch doing a fantastic job on media and convincing hard core racists like Tommy Robinson to initiate racist riots, particularly against Muslims. UK is meant to be a world leader and progressive country, but now certain Ultranationalists have manipulated and incited hate in the public. Rupert Murdoch ( A Jew) has campainged with his media, Fox, Mirror, Daily mail, Sun, etc…to hate Muslims, and dehumanise Mulims ( as in Palestine) to Justify Genocide in Gaza/ Lebanon. Again Hitler in the 30's did a similar dehumanising of jews/ Poles et… So this is early dangerous rhetoric. Islamaphobia is on the rise, caused by media.
@peterjones6507
Do we need foreigners to preach tolerance to us? I don't think so. Our idea of tolerance is rather more nuanced than just allowing anything anybody wants.
@Capri-x8m
It's funny how Poland and Hungary don't have these issues. You're just dishonest, Warsi because you're taught to lie to infidels.
@Capri-x8m
I have zero sympathy. We didn't ask you to come here.
@richardjoangreen6918
I think you need to listen to Mosab Hassan Yousef.
@Capri-x8m
You're at a crossroads. Follow the signpost that says "India".

The door marked "open" is wide and clear…….don't like the place………….
@durfelx3890
no such thing as islamophobia
@georgemayo5623
She is right the global south is engaging more in diplomac and also some countries in east Asia are also engaging in diplomacy. It appears the UK is looking more inwards.
@georgemayo5623
Sayeeda Warsi is right , there is overt racism and covert racism happening.
@Notafraidofthedark
Judging from the comments here, I'd say that most commentators are over 70, have never met a muslim, and have been told it's unsafe to step out of their houses….so live is a psychosis of imagined danger.
@shamusshamus6251
you may not feel safe , but in reality you are safe . if you dont feel safe leave
@johndow-q4j
islam is a idea 1 to wich we do not condone in this country could you imagine if we went to their country and popped up a christian church be all out war
@danielshimmin3438
I admire her commitment to a more honorable and inclusive set of Conservative values. But poll the party members and you'll see that the Tory party isn't the home for this.
@jm264
The world is changing and the East will be the influentail in politics and economy , the west is struggling and is going down but without putting up a fight.. The empires are not eternal.
@scogginsscoggins
If Ms Warsi wants to avoid racism, please avoid the Conservative Party.
@rajbodepudi
Ban the Terror Manual, the Quran, for

@hanusiaschostak5100
Ditto I don’t feel safe as a white Christian woman!!!!!
@hanusiaschostak5100
EXTREMISM particularly Islamic extremism is HATEFUL.
@yog50
Most people don't want Muslims in their country, and don't like Muslims.
Get it into your head.
@amirmohammadnoormohammad5590
NOT to Taliban and Haqqani Network terrorist groups please world.
@amirmohammadnoormohammad5590
Remember Afghanistan 🇦🇫 please 🇦🇫.
@kse8348
What a farce
@northwestcoast
There is no justification for Islam. It’s a death cult based on fairy tales. Time to move beyond
@azadrpatel
Did she ever say a word against the Muslim grooming gangs 😂😂😂😂 NO but Islamophobia matters to her…
@romeodelta7004
Never liker her because she was a tory. However, total respect for her in this podcast and her honesty and how professional and open she was in this discussion.
@alanglasgowbassist
..but Enoch Powell was right
@orthopaedica
She has developed UKPHOBIA 😮
@banana-bo5cd
Islamophobia …What a joke, they hate everyone that are not the same as them!
@reginaldamoah8608
The difference between the Baroness and her culture war colleagues is that they understood the the breif. The Tories promote Black and Brown people to advance racism so that they can deflect the accusation.
@totalplonker824
No Iranian ever needed to claim asylum before 79
No Afghani before 2001
No Iraqi before 2003
No Libyan before 2011, not forgetting Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Gambia, Sierra Leone, northwestern Somalia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, and Malawi etc. It's no wonder Western countries are starting to fill up with refugees.
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!
