UK: Baroness Warsi gets egged by fellow Muslims

I suppose it could have been worse, after all they could have been throwing stones.

From the Daily Mail:

Conservative peer Baroness Warsi of Dewsbury, named Britain's most powerful Muslim woman, has been pelted with eggs during a visit to Luton. The Baroness, 38, was taking part in a walkabout in the Muslim Bury Park area of Luton when she was confronted by a group of male protesters.

Baroness Warsi, who was hit by at least one egg, debated with the men after they accused her of not being a proper Muslim (uh-oh. Apostasy = 'I kill you' in Islam) and supporting the death of Muslims in Afghanistan.

Baroness Warsi told the BBC that the men were "idiots who did not represent the majority of British Muslims". She said she had tried to talk to the protesters but they did not want to debate their concerns.

'I stood up to this group and said I challenge your views,' she told BBC News. 'They just weren't prepared to listen. They shouted. 'I said if you want to have this debate, listen.'

She continued with her walkabout, but with a police escort.

So how's that Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion and Social Action thing working out for you, Baroness Warsi?
