A TV station based in Arlington, Virginia, has apologised for a question posed to a Muslim candidate for state lieutenant governor that many people deemed to be Islamophobic.
Sam Rasoul, a member of the Virginia state assembly, was one of six candidates taking part in a debate organised by the Virginia Democratic Party and broadcast by
TV station WJLA on Tuesday.
David Lucas, a news anchor at WJLA, asked Mr Rasoul about a
