Cameron accused of 'Trojan horse' hysteria
School investigators find no sign of Birmingham extremism but PM promises ‘robust’ response

DAVID CAMERON stood accused of whipping up Islamophobia yesterday after promising a “robust” campaign to monitor Muslim community schools.

“Protecting our children is one of the first duties of government and that is why the issue of alleged Islamist extremism in Birmingham schools demands a robust response,” declared Mr Cameron.
