More than a quarter of 18 to 24-year-olds in Britain do not trust Muslims, a BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat poll suggests.

Of the 1,000 young people questioned, 28% said Britain would be better off with fewer Muslims, while 44% said Muslims did not share the same values as the rest of the population.

Some 60% thought the British public had a negative image of Muslims.

An adviser on anti-Muslim hatred said the findings suggested young people needed to mix more.

yeah. come and ask the Brits in London, especially East London, see what they say here.

everyone would be afraid of the unknown and if the surveyed kids are from lil cities with 0-5% Muslim population then DUH is all i have to say.

Bloody idiots using niqabi pics as if they're representative of the British Muslim population. The Independent did that for their article on this too arghhhh

I agree with LTS people need to know more Muslims to change their views, I don't think anyone around me would be scared of Muslims.

[quote=Hummus]I think the biggest issue that needs to be faced is making people understand that Muslims are humans and not aliens from another planet. Once we sort that out we've cracked the jackpot.[/quote]

Its ok, we come in peace. Take me to your leader?
