Belgium and France have moved to ban the face veil in public, while Switzerland has banned minarets. Is Europe now putting its own ‘secular’ culture before religious toleration? When MP Chris Grayling said before the election he thought Christian B&B owners should be allowed to turn away gay couples there was an outraged consensus that such bigotry should not be tolerated.

Speakers include: Abid Raja, chair at Minotek; Dr Evan Harris, Ex MP Liberal Democrats, Nathalie Rothschild, commissioning editor at Spiked-online, Bruno Waterfield, Brussels correspondent, Daily Telegraph.
