Should the press be regulated to make it fairer for Muslims?
Buried in the details of the Leveson report is a list of stories which has portrayed Muslims in a negative light. Lord Justice Leveson said that the press had been guilty of a "recklessness in prioritising sensationalist stories" in a way that "can only be described as outrageous".
Among the stories mentioned were the ones about Muslims trying to stop a cafe frying bacon, another about attempts to get the sales of poppies banned in Muslim areas, and one about a Muslim plot to kill the Pope when he visited the UK.
