'How I became a secret daytime DJ'

BBC News, 'How I became a secret daytime DJ' "In the 1980s, many British South Asian teenagers were expected to spend evenings at home, so an underground club scene began to emerge in the afternoons. One of the people behind the "daytimer" trend in Bradford, a young DJ called Moey Hassan, told the BBC's Kavita Puri how it began." Taken from the excellent BBC series Three Pounds in My Pocket.

Question Time on Question Time

The far-right Islamophobic trope that the Qur'an "obliges" Muslims to deceive others, was on @bbcquestiontime yesterday (a few days after Melanie Phillips said so in The Times)

Disappointing it was not properly challenged.

'Boris Johnson says sorry for 'any offence caused' by burqa article'

'The Perils of Engaging CVE Policy Making'

Sadek Hamid The Maydan, The Perils of Engaging CVE Policy Making: A British Case Study opinion/analysis "Academics with expertise in Islamic Studies have much to offer a public arena saturated with prejudiced media coverage, self-styled experts and growing anti-Muslim sentiment. However, making interventions in the mainstream can come at a price if individuals become targeted by well-funded interest groups. This politicization of the field can also force scholars to make the difficult decision of whether or not to engage with governments in case they are labelled as Islamophiles or “Islam sympathisers.”"
