Challenged over these shockingly homophobic comments, Warsi said "it's a statement I make as I believe it. It is factually correct. Everything in this leaflet is fact". Later having been whipped into shape by the Tory leadership anxious to reinvent itself as 'Tory-lite', she begrudgingly said "I look back at lots of my election leaflets and think, 'God - why did I phrase it like that?'".
Warsi's latest words about the issue of Islamophobia will come as a source of amusement and anguish to the Muslim communities around the country who have largely disowned her, with large groups in recent years pelting her with eggs and warning her not to attempt to visit their communities. Their sense of betrayal is rooted in a host of shocking stances and campaigns by the minister. She supports the murderous operations of the British armed forces in Islamic countries. In her infamous 2005 election campaign, she targetted Muslim communities with homophobic leaflets, and then shamelessly targetted white communities with anti-immigration propaganda.
