Has your view of the Tories changed after accusations of Islamophobia in the party?

Nomia asks whether listeners' views of the Tories have changed after accusations of Islamophobia in the party.

Has your view of the Tories changed after accusations of Islamophobia in the party? We're asking that after the chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum, Mohammed Amin, said the party will fail to win support from his community unless it tackles anti-Islamic prejudice head-on. Also Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the former Minister of State for Faith and Communities, talks to Nomia about the issue. Then we hear from a former refugee who has become Sheffield's Lord Mayor. Magid Magid came to Britain aged five with his mother and siblings, who left Somalia "to find a better life". And Nomia is joined by Hussain Manawer, a spoken word artist, Nazia Khatun a fitness specialist and Kinzah Muneeb who discuss the trials and tribulations Muslims face during the month of Ramadan.
