Is it impossible to criticise Muslims without being accused of being racist?

Nihal

Available for over a year

Several newspapers ran a story about a consultant who's being investigated after saying a Muslim surgeon walked out of an operation rather than remove her headscarf. He said a culture exists where colleagues are reluctant to criticise such incidents for fear of being accused of racism or Islamaphobia. The hospital trust in question said it's investigating him for the tone of his comments - and not for highlighting the issue. Three callers share their views with Nihal.
