The enemy within - Sayeeda Warsi

Now with a new paperback introduction

'Vital reading' Daily Telegraph
'It turns conventional wisdom on its head' Peter Oborne
'Uniquely insightful' Sunday Times
'Eloquent, calm and clever' Andrew Marr

Britain has often
found groups within its borders whom it does not trust, whom it feels
have a belief, culture, practice or agenda which runs contrary to those
of the majority. From Catholics to Jews, miners to trade unionists ,
Marxists to liberals and even homosexuals, all have at times been
viewed, described and treated as 'the enemy within'. Muslims are the
latest in a long line of 'others' to be given this label.

How did this state of affairs come to pass? What are the lessons
and challenges for the future - and how will the tale of Muslim Britain
develop? Sayeeda Warsi draws on her own unique position in
British life, as the child of Pakistani immigrants, an outsider, who
became an insider, the UK's first Muslim Cabinet minister, to explore
questions of cultural difference, terrorism, surveillance, social
justice, religious freedom, integration and the meaning of 'British
values'.

Uncompromising
and outspoken, filled with arguments, real-life experience, necessary
truths and possible ways forward for Muslims, politicians and the rest
of us, this is a timely and urgent book.
