Professor Jason Arday and Dr Halima Begum explain why the 90s was also the decade when the term Islamophobia was coined, and for a very good reason.</p><p>Producer: Stephen Hughes Sound Designer/Composer: Phil Channell Actors: Tayla Kovacevic-Ebong, Debbie Korley, Ronny Jhutti Consultant: Professor Jason Arday</p>
