Islamophobia has replaced fear of immigration, a worrying report finds
Hope Not Hate finds that while concerns around immigration has declined, ‘attitudes to Muslims in Britain have hardened’

ANTI-MUSLIM prejudice has replaced fear of immigration among Britons, according to a worrying new report by Hope Not Hate.

The charity said that while concerns around immigration had declined since 2011, “attitudes to Muslims in Britain have hardened,” with significant numbers of people seeing Islam as incompatible with British values.

A new poll of 5,200 people commissioned by Hope Not Hate found that 43 per cent believe that Britain’s multicultural society is working compared to 41 per cent who do not.
