Interview: Zara Mohammed, Muslim Council of Britain

The Secretary General of the MCB on the new Government definition of extremism, and more.

The Secretary General of the MCB on the new Government definition of extremism, and more. Zara Mohammed sits down with Podlitical to talk about becoming the first female, first Scottish, and youngest leader of the Muslim Council of Britain, her thoughts on the new Government definitions of extremism announced by the Conservatives last week, and the Government's non-engagement policy with the organisation. Mohammed discusses how life has changed for Muslims in the UK since the October 7th attack on Israel, how she sees a recent "barrage" of anti-Muslim sentiment coming from the top level of politics, and warns of being complacent about "Scottish Exceptionalism" when it comes to tackling inequality.
