A new report on Islamophobia in Britain released on Monday found that British Muslims are among the groups most discriminated against.
According to the Yeni فقafak newspaper, an analysis by the University of Birmingham and data from the Yogo Institute showed that 25.9% of the British people, the majority of whom are conservative and elite, have discriminatory views against Muslims. The country views Muslims more discriminatory than other religions.
Demographics of people likely to be Islamophobic include the elderly, the working class, men and those who have voted to leave the EU, as well as supporters of the Conservative Party led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“Discrimination against Islam and Muslims in Britain is more common among the rich and the educated,” said Stephen Jones, the report’s lead author.
According to the report, the general British non-Muslim population is three times more likely to have a negative attitude towards Islam than towards other religions.
The situation is almost the same in France and Germany, where a mosque in the eastern German city of Leipzig was recently attacked and destroyed by left-wing extremists. According to a German police statement, during a rally by far-left groups in eastern Leipzig, some protesters attacked the Ayub Sultan Mosque in the area and broke its windows.
