Who is this woman? she sounds like a right cow in some old articles she called sikhs Islamophobic for speaking about grooming gangs, and said there is no evidence of muslims grooming gangs targeting sikh females. she also trys to paint sikh men as radicals. shes also written a book called " unsettling sikh and muslim conflict" i havnt read that rubbish but on amazon judging by the reviews on the back of the book it is really biased and is about how sikhs are Islamophobic, are having a identity crisis and that sikh identity in the uk is based on "good sikh vs bad muslim" " This book may be located within diaspora studies and the study of intercultural and interethnic relations, and more broadly, within the discourse on narrative performance where identity is viewed as intrinsically linked to storytelling. Using postcolonial theorists such as Said, Foucault, and Barthes, Sian attempts to interrogate existing narrative/s of 'Sikhness' that are rooted in tales of 'Sikhs and their battle against the Muslim enemy.' It is a battle centered on the notion of 'brave, courageous and heroic Sikhs' who emerge victorious in the face of 'oppression...and tyranny [by] the Muslim antagonist' (2). Stories, she rightly argues, shape identity. . . .Sian's narrative questions the present discourse and masterfully weaves her own story. . . .killfully expressed.--Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations"
