I have just spent a month in the Muslim community of Beeston, Leeds, home to three of the London suicide bombers.
In the piece I have just written for The Observer, I have tried to shed some light on an area that has become increasingly withdrawn since the July 7 bombings, writes Urmee Khan.
The time I spent in Beeston was very enlightening - especially in the current climate - and experiencing Muslim attitudes from the inside showed me a society that has grown ever more distrustful of strangers.
When the world's press descended on this small suburban community, a picture was painted of a hostile and dangerous society. What I found was very different: an area left vulnerable and paranoid.
I would be interested to hear your views. Do you think the Muslim community has been unfairly villified following the London attacks? What are your experiences of Muslim Britain?
