A Place in Politics for British Muslims

Alongside rising levels of hate faced by British Muslims, are renewed questions about how well Muslims have integrated in British society.

The BBC's Religion Editor Aleem Maqbool hears stories of anti-Muslim hatred, including that of London entrepreneur Usman Shah, pictured as part of the Heathrow Welcome campaign. Mr Shah describes how he made a bold decision to forgive and reach out to his abusers, a decision inspired by his Islamic values and faith.

Aleem also hears from those urging British Muslims to take a more proactive approach in resolving problems within their communities.

He explores whether politics could play in bringing greater cohesion, or whether politics has been a hindrance to progress.

And he examines who is working with whom to help resolve matters and bring cohesion at this crucial juncture. Producer: Leela Padmanabhan Assistant Producers: Imaan Asim and Catherine Wyatt
