MORE than one in four Europeans hold hostile views towards minority groups, a major study in eight countries, including Britain, suggests. 

At least a quarter of Europeans have negative feelings towards Muslims and almost a third have hostile views regarding immigrants, according to a new poll of 12,000 people from Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, Hungary, Poland and Italy.
