MUSLIMS in Britain are facing a rising level of abuse and prejudice, a human rights group revealed yesterday.

A report by the Islamic Human Rights Commission found that between 2010 and 2014 the proportion of people surveyed who had experienced Islamophobia rose from 50 to 82 per cent.

The study, which recorded Muslim experiences of hostility and discrimination, also discovered that the number of those witnessing negative stereotypes about Islam and Muslims had gone from 69 to 93.3 per cent.
