Recently, Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron rightly characterised Donald Trump’s comments about Muslims as “divisive, unhelpful and wrong.” However, his current defence minister, Michael Fallon, accused London mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan of “sharing platforms with extremists”.
After the US Super Tuesday results, which make Trump the de facto Republican nominee, more and more Europeans will be convinced of Islamophobia as a viable campaign strategy. After all, other political parties such as France’s National Front, led by Marine Le Pen, have similarly gained from it. Why wouldn’t more people try it?
