Sir, It is unbelievable that our government can get away with slandering the British Muslim community. As you reported, Home Secretary Suella Braverman had the audacity to claim that almost all sexual grooming gangs are from the Pakistani community and that their values are at odds with British values. (Home Secretary faces unprecedented condemnation over “racist rhetoric” targeting British Pakistanis’, The Muslim News, April 21.) And PM Rishi Sunak refused to distance himself from her accusations; instead, he reiterated the unfounded far-right appeasing mantra that “political correctness” was to blame for not weeding out sex offenders! Islamophobia is truly ingrained in the Conservative Government need weeding out.
Yours,
Mohammed Shah
