‘Racist slur’ by Muslim group against tolerance tsar Sara Khan

Excerpt:

The new anti-extremism tsar was described as an “Oreo” by a senior member of a Muslim advocacy group, a television investigation is to say. The term is seen as racist because it describes a biscuit which is brown on the outside but white inside.

Sara Khan, a Muslim, has been appointed as the head of Theresa May’s Commission for Tackling Extremism.

Channel 4’s Dispatches will broadcast an investigation into Muslim Engagement and Development (Mend), a pressure group which persuaded Jeremy Corbyn last year to launch its anti-Islamophobia event in the Commons.

Ms Khan has led a charity that seeks equality for Muslim women and counters extremism. No sooner had she been appointed to advise Mrs May than Mend demanded her sacking.
