As the UK government announced the launch of a new Islamophobia council to define ‘anti-Muslim hatred/ Islamophobia’ on February 28th, the start of Ramadan, one thing is clear: This is a hot-button issue that raises serious questions about free speech, blasphemy laws, and the balance between protecting religious sensibilities and upholding open dialogue in a liberal society. 0:00 — Why Islamophobia Is Exploding as a Debate in Britain 0:45 — What Is “Islamophobia” and Why Does It Matter? 1:36 — Meet the Guests: Andy Bannister & Tim Dieppe 3:28 — The New Islamophobia Council: What’s Really Being Proposed? 7:06 — Is Islam a Race?

How does Islam view blasphemy, and does that perspective clash with modern Western ideals?
