A government adviser on Islamophobia who encouraged Muslims to protest against a cinema company to cancel the showing of a movie about the Prophet Muhammad’s daughter, has been sacked by Michael Gove for encouraging “communal tensions” and “limiting free expression.”
On Friday, it was reported that Imam Qari Asim, an independent adviser on Islamophobia to the British government, had backed protests to pull the film “The Lady of Heaven” that has been accused of “blasphemy.”
