About this Event
Join us for the Professional Muslim Institute Networking Dinner featuring an exclusive conversation with Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, who will discuss her powerful new book, *Muslims Don’t Matter*. In her book, Baroness Warsi reflects on her time at the heart of British politics and within Muslim communities, offering a compelling critique of Islamophobia in modern Britain.
The book explores the shocking rise in anti-Muslim racism, including the tragic murders of three Muslim grandfathers in separate attacks on the streets of England—each targeted simply for their faith. From the far-right violence during the summer of 2024 to the vitriol directed at Muslims in public life during the Gaza conflict, Warsi highlights the alarming spread of Islamophobia, fueled by media outlets, think tanks, commentators, and even the entertainment industry. For many, Islamophobia has become a normalized form of bigotry in Britain’s blind spot.
As Britain's first Muslim Cabinet minister, Baroness Warsi brings a unique perspective, boldly challenging this toxic culture and urging us to confront and dismantle these prejudices. She will share her reflections on the summer’s riots, the rising sense of fear among British Muslims, and the question many are grappling with: “Should we still call Britain home?”This is a vital conversation about the future of British Muslim identity and the need for unity against the rising tide of hate. All are welcome, but prior booking is essential. Don’t miss this important event!
