Dhimmitude on Steroids: Whites 'Must Do More to Help Muslims Feel at Home'


This is what happens when you have feel-good, multi-culti pablum on the brain and no matter what amount of evidence belies your worldview, you still preach the leftist gospel as fact.

An absurd study from some UK outfit called the Joseph Rowntree Foundation excoriates whites for relentless hostility and discrimination toward migrant Muslims, yet they somehow failed to digest the fact their own study reveals a majority of Muslims say they have not faced discrimination or prejudice.

Whites 'must do more to help Muslims feel at home' says research group
Muslim immigrants face so much discrimination and hostility that they don't feel they belong here, according to a liberal research group.

As part of efforts to improve integration, it called for an improvement in public behaviour towards Muslims.

And it said other Britons are wrong to worry about segregation and Muslim-dominated enclaves, as there are benefits to "residential clustering".

The report, for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, is a strike for multiculturalism, the doctrine which encourages the development of minorities.

Multiculturalism fell out of favour in 2005, after the Government's equality chief Trevor Phillips warned that the country was "sleepwalking to segregation".

Ministers have since called for the encouragement of "cohesion", including more teaching of English and an end to grants being handed to organisations from single ethnic and religious groups.

The study, based on interviews with 319 men and women, including 229 Muslims, found that the majority of interviewees had not experienced unfair treatment because of their colour or ethnicity.

Fewer than 50 per cent of minority members interviewed had experienced race prejudice and just 30 per cent of recent Muslim immigrants had experienced religious discrimination.
Uh, so what is the point of this group, other than making themselves look like complete idiots?
But the Communities Department, which is charged with encouraging integration, distanced itself from the report.

It said policy involves a move away from funding single groups so that public money is spent on bringing communities together.

Rival think tank Civitas said it was "tendentious" of researchers to emphasise discrimination when a majority said they had experienced none.
Indeed.

I wonder when this cockamamie outfit will do a poll of white natives asking how they feel about Muslims living in enclaves and having women walking around in burqas?
