Making comments like "Muslims love the limelight" are exactly what I'm talking about - making sweeping statements that are lined with prejudice. I read your comments in the other thread, saying that Muslims "change areas", "make them dirty" and "have a lower standard of living than us" which, again, are prejudiced comments. Maybe that is your experience of Muslim people and I'm sorry that you feel that way, but what Baroness Warsi is saying is that the media are very flippant when discussing Muslims and help to perpetuate these negative connotations; causing people such as yourself to make statements like that without even questioning that they might be controversial and prejudiced.
