The War on Terror—the phrase may be less ubiquitous than it once was, but the impact of the ‘war’ continues to resonate in Britain today. Academics, politicians and civil liberties campaigners have demonstrated how the continuing post- 9/11 surveillance and institutionally focussed strategies of “prevent” are Islamophobic, while misreporting and misrepresentation of Muslims in the British media has been proven to be endemic.
Join Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Miqdaad Versi, Saeed Khan and Amina Yaqin as they unpack how the recent rise in Islamophobic attacks at street level can be directly related to the War on Terror, and the subsequent erosion of Muslim civil liberties.
