There are concerns that the new Culture Secretary, Sajid Javid, might come across as a normal Muslim, thus causing a great deal of confusion to some people.
The Bromsgrove MP was made a cabinet member today but people are not ready for a smart well spoken Muslim without a beard.
AP Son from a leading right-wing think tank said this might be 2014 but it is going to take some getting used to.
“It has been problematic to see someone who does not act like your average Muslim to be so close to the Prime Minister.
“A bald guy with no beard who speaks without an accent and has a non-Asian partner is going to really cause problems."
Bookies have also stopped taking bets on how long it is going to take before the MP is linked to some Muslim issue of no concern to him whatsoever.
