LONDON: One of Britain’s most powerful Muslim women was pelted with eggs on Monday by a group of men who accused her of not being a proper Muslim and of supporting the deaths of Muslims in Afghanistan.
Sayeeda Warsi, a lawmaker from the main opposition Conservatives, was campaigning in Luton, north of London, when the men confronted her and started shouting abuse, her spokesman said.
“They were saying something about her not being a proper Muslim,” he said. “But rather than run off, she stood her ground and said ‘let’s have a proper debate, let’s have an argument.’ “But they just carried on screaming and shouting at her.”
