Islamophobia 'not being tackled' by government

Fiyaz Mughal, the founder of Tell Mama, a project that records anti-Muslim incidents, responds to Boris Johnson's column in the Daily Telegraph, where he described women wearing the niqab as β€œlooking like letter boxes” and described the expression of Islamic faith as a "problem."

Mughal told Today that there is more "receptiveness" to anti-Semitism than Islamophobia and the government is not doing enough to tackle it.
