Are Muslims Hated?

Thanks to AsiansinMedia.org I learn of Kenan Malik's programme due to air on Channel 4 on January 8th which asks 'are Muslims hated'? According to Mailik:

Everyone from anti-racist activists to government ministers wants to convince us that Britain is in the grip of Islamophobia. But is this the reality or is hatred and abuse of Muslims being exaggerated to suit politicians' ends and to silence critics of Islam?

Malik always has something interesting to say so I await the programme and the debate that will no doubt follow with interest.
