- Barbara Kay: Spot the Muslim woman in David Cameron's new cabinet
Sayeeda Warsi showed up for her first day on her new job in a lovely pink salwar kameez with a matching dupatti, traditional Pakistani garb, and she made a charming fashion statement. She also made history as the first Muslim woman to sit in a British cabinet. After many years in the trenches of Conservative Party politics, including a failed run at a seat in the 2005 general election, Ms Warsi, 39, a lawyer with a great deal of experience in immigration and social cohesion issues, was appointed minister without portfolio in Britain's new coalition government. She is sure to make an impact politically and culturally. Baroness Warsi presents in her personal history and perspective the most traditional and the most modern faces of the current Muslim reality in the West.
