About this episode

This episode discusses the growing problem of Muslim sectarianism in Britain through various expert perspectives.

Four Sceptic guests on the growing problem of Muslim sectarianism in Britain and why the state can't address it. In this special episode of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell brings together four different perspectives on the growing problem of Muslim sectarianism in Britain. Guy Dampier of the Prosperity Institute shows how Pakistani clan structures led to the grooming gangs; researcher Daniel Dieppe highlights how the London Borough of Tower Hamlets fell to Bangladeshi-Muslim electoral corruption; the Critic's Chris Bayliss looks at how state authorities responded to Birmingham's banning of Israeli football fans; and journalist David Shipley and Laurie discuss what the Labour Government's latest social cohesion plan shows about how it's approaching multiculturalism's pathologies.
