Islamists are ‘weaponising’ claims of Islamophobia to shut down debate on hijabs, report finds

Islamists are “weaponising” claims of Islamophobia to shut down debate on head scarves and veils, a think tank has found.

A new report by Policy Exchange suggests that freedom and debate to discuss Islamic head scarves and face coverings is being denied by Islamic extremists.

The comments were made in a report by Sir John Jenkins, who spent 35 years in the British Diplomatic Service and was a former Ambassador to Burma, Syria, Iraq, Libya and Saudi Arabia, as well as HM Consul-General in Jerusalem and Special Representative to the National Transitional Council.
