"Pointing the Finger: Islam & Muslims in the British Media" by Julian Petley & Robin Richardson

The book discussed in this edition of Epilogue is "Pointing the Finger: Islam and Muslims in the British Media" written by Julian Petley and Robin Richardson.



In this important book, several leading media commentators examine the phenomenon of “Islamophobia” and ask how to tackle it. Charting recent media controversies, from the Archbishop of Canterbury's comments on Sharia law to the veil “debate”, the book argues that media hostility to Islam alienates Muslims and undermines efforts to combat extremism.
