Muslim lingerie shop29 July 2004
What were the tensions which led to an attack?

When Birmingham's first Muslim lingerie shop set up in Balsall Heath it quickly caused offence to some members of the community and was attacked just days after opening.

Helen Roberts talks to the shop owner about what happened and what their feelings are about it.

Jenni is then joined by Dr Sayweda, a retired paediatrician and a social worker at the Birmingham Central mosque in Birmingham and Yasmin Darr, a family case worker in Manchester and a practising Muslim in Manchester, to discuss why the shop caused such a stir.
