Fatima Manji has been reacting after the press regulator decided a Sun newspaper columnist was within his right to question her appearance in a veil on Channel 4 and his comments on July 18th did not amount to religious discrimination.
Asked about her views on journalists wearing Christian crosses or orthodox Jewish clothing on-screen, Ms Manji told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I respect individual's choices and I particularly respect individual women's choices.
"I respect people's journalism when they are interested in telling the truth."
The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) investigated after Kelvin MacKenzie questioned whether a Christian would have been allowed to make such a "religious statement."
Responding to Ipso's ruling on Wednesday, Kelvin MacKenzie said: "Channel 4 News editors were wrong to allow a reporter wearing prominent religious attire of any faith to present a story about religious extremism and mass murder."
Channel 4 News said it was "dismayed" by Ipso's decision and Ms Manji warned the implications of the conclusion are "frightening".
She told Today: "It was upsetting enough to find myself the latest victim to Kelvin MacKenzie's tirades.
"But now to know that that has been given the green light by the press regulator, and that effectively it is open season on minorities and on Muslims in particular is frightening."
