Muslims and Modern Europe

Mehreen Khan explains a centuries-old European antipathy towards Islam

I'd like to point out that this interview with Mehreen Khan from The Times requires your attention. Mehreen has spent many years reporting from Brussels and knows the European Union's key personalities and institutional character.

We discuss the idea of Euro Whiteness and how a deep-seated, centuries-old antagonism towards Islam pervades European discourse and behaviour. We look at the EU as a model for the economic and political unity (Mehreen thinks not) of the Muslim World, and we end with a fascinating conversation about Gaza and her experience working in mainstream media.

Mehreen is forthright and incisive and does not hold her punches—a brilliant conversation.
