[b]Some info on Islamophobia...share your views pls...[/b]
[b]Islamophobia[/b]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Islamophobia is a neologism used to refer to an irrational fear or prejudice towards Muslims and the religion of Islam. [1][2]
[b]Definitions[/b]
Authors who attempt to describe the term more specifically view it as a new form of racial prejudice whereby Muslims, an ethno-religious group, not a race, are nevertheless constructed as a race.[3][4][5]. According to them, a set of negative assumptions are made of the entire group to the detriment of members of that group.

Many believe multiculturalism improves UK society
The majority of British people think multiculturism makes the country a better place, a BBC poll suggests.
But 32% think it "threatens the British way of life" and 54% think "parts of the country don't feel like Britain any more because of immigration".
The Mori poll for the BBC also suggests the 7 July bomb attacks have not led to an upsurge in racial intolerance.
The survey questioned 1,004 people in the UK. A booster survey of 204 British Muslims was conducted for comparison.
