UK Muslims blame Islamophobia on the portrayal of their religion in the media, a survey has revealed.

The research found that 40% of Muslims blamed anti-Islamic feelings on the media, while 74% of non-Muslims blamed Islamophobia on the 9/11 bombings.

The internet survey of 1,360 people was carried out by Global Market Insite, Muslim Voice UK, Queens University in Belfast and the University of Liverpool.

The report by Shaista Gohir, from online forum Muslim Voice UK, stated: "The Muslim-West

relations have become increasingly strained due to a string of events such as the September 11 attacks in 2001, the Afghanistan war in 2002, the Iraq war, the London bombings in 2005 and the Danish cartoon row.
"In this current climate, it is essential to gauge Muslim and non-Muslim attitudes with a view to resolving differences."

The research found that both sides agree that Muslims and non-Muslims "don't understand each other" but have different concerns about the cause of the culture clash.

She sets out recommendations including action by the Muslim community and police; breaking down barriers to integration and misunderstandings; tackling discrimination and Islamophobia; measures to deal with extremism; reviewing foreign policy; protecting human rights and more responsible reporting by the media.

She said: "It was striking that Muslims feel more strongly about international issues than say, their treatment by police or discrimination in the UK.

"It also appears that Islamophobia, Western foreign policy and human rights abuses of Muslims are contributing substantially to the alienation of UK Muslims.

"On the other hand, non-Muslims are concerned about extremism, the lack of integration, Muslims not being proud to be British and the lack of tolerance by Muslims. However, the biggest threat to good Muslim and non-Muslim community relations is the misinformation on Islam in the media."

No I blame it certain sections of the Muslim community constantly trying to change OUR Beliefs OUR culture , OUR freedom , to me any Muslim that wasn't born in our wonderful country and who does nothing but complain about our culture knows where the airport is.

Make of it what you will..............

I lived in the states , and across the states hunting wonderful animals is a part of the American culture, now me being an animal lover didnt and does not agree with the killing of animals for pleasure , seems a tad sick to me .

Neway , iI was invited to go on a hunt one day , I gave a polite no , I didnt not lobby the Whitehouse to have hunting banned , or felt bad of the peeps that hunted , it was THEIR culture , not mine or ours.

like i said make of it what you will.

Amazing what kinds of evil are done on this planet in the name of religion and thusly in the name of 'good'.

As one guy whose name I have forgot said:

'There will always be good people doing good things;
There will always be evil people doing evil things;
But where religion is concerned, you get good people doing evil things'
