بريطانيا: البريطانيون يرون نمط حياتهم يخالف القيم الإسلامية

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أكدت الوزيرة البريطانية "سيدة وارسي" أنه طبقًا لنتيجة بعض التقارير التي لم تطبع بعد، فإن أقل من 25% من البريطانيين يرون الإسلام وتعاليمه تتوافق مع نمط الحياة لدى البريطانيين، وأن ما بين 50 إلى 60 % من جرائم الكراهية الدينية التي تسجلها الشرطة تُرتكب ضد المسلمين، وهذا طبقًا لجمعية ضباط الشرطة المعنية بتطوير العملية الشرطية بـ"إنجلترا" و"ويلز".

وأشارت "وارسي" في حديثها إلى أن بعض البحوث الأكاديمية أكدت أن 23% يرون أن الإسلام لا يهدد الحضارة الغربية، بالرغم من إشارة البيانات والنتائج إلى حالة المناهضة للإسلام التي تسود "بريطانيا"، مؤكدةً أن الخطر يكمن في تغافل الدولة عن التمييز العنصري الذي يعتبر إجحافًا، وطالبت بقيام غير المسلمين بالبعث برسائل إيجابية داعية الجميع للمشاركة في التصدي لهذه القضية؛ حتى تصبح "بريطانيا" فعليًّا دولة مساواة وعدالة حديثة؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Baroness Warsi: Fewer than one in four people believe Islam is compatible with British way of life

Fewer than one in four people now believe that following Islam is compatible with a British way of life, Britain's most senior Muslim minister will warn today.

Highlighting unpublished research showing that a majority of the country now believes that Islam is a threat to Western civilisation Baroness Sayeeda Warsi will say that “underlying, unfounded mistrust” of Muslims is in itself fuelling extremism.

And she will cite new figures from the Association of Chief Police Officers showing that between 50 to 60 per cent of all religious hate crimes reported to police in Britain are now perpetrated against Muslims.

“My fear is that seeing one community as the ‘other’ is a slippery slope that will enable extremists to advance their twisted interests unchecked,” she will say.

“I don’t have to remind anyone what happens when an unfounded suspicion of one people can escalate into unspeakable horror.”

Two years ago Baroness Warsi, who has responsibility in Government for faith and communities, was criticised claiming that Islamophobia in Britain “had passed the dinner table test”.

But in her speech to a support service for those who have suffered anti-Muslim attacks Baroness Warsi will say new data supports the evidence of widespread anti-Muslim feeling in the UK.

She will cite new research by academics that shows that just 23 per cent of a representative sample questioned said that Islam was not a threat to Western civilisation.

Just 24 per cent thought Muslims were compatible with the British way of life – with nearly half of people disagreeing that Muslims were compatible.

This compares with research among Muslims that showed 83 per were proud to be British, compared to 79 per cent of Britons overall.

“When I said that Islamophobia had ‘passed the dinner table test’ I got a fair amount of stick,” she will say.

“There were those who denied the problem existed. There were those who said talking about it was dangerous. But let me tell you what’s really dangerous: It’s when a country turns a blind eye towards that discrimination.”

“Anti-Muslim hatred is a form of prejudice and there should be no place in Britain for this prejudice,” she will say.

“It would be a more powerful message from a non-Muslim, someone for whom this is not personally painful.

”The fact is that everyone should have an interest in this issue.

“It’s not just a matter for Muslims or a matter for people of faith. It’s a matter for everyone who cares about Britain being the modern, equal, fair society that we want it to be.”
