My guest today is Harry Jee, Managing Editor of Pimlico Journal, a UK based online magazine.

Today we discuss one of Harry's recent articles entitled "Islam The Great Red Herring".

In it he argues that focusing overly on radical political Islam is not a strategically helpful way of tackling mass immigration and that the problem with Islam are often overstated compared to other ethnic groups.

He also contends that Islam is often used as a trojan horse by the establishment right re-asserting its preferred foreign policy positions such interventions in the Middle East.

He also takes issue with framing out malaise as a battle between Christianity and Islam and says this is often done instead of addressing material concerns of voters.

I push back on many of these and other points but I think it is very useful debate and conversation.
