Social cohesion – excluding Muslims

Friday, 12 September 2008 17:27

Following the furore surrounding the publication of the 'Islam on Campus', report by the Centre for Social Cohesion (CfSC) in July 2008, Inayat Bunglawala, ENGAGE Advisor on Policy and Research, writes, 'I have written previously about my misgivings concerning the “findings” of several agenda-driven anti-Muslim outfits falsely posing as think tanks. And this particular case has proved to be no different. A look at the YouGov poll revealed that a far more ambiguous question was actually posed to the Muslim students who took part in the survey.'

The survey and subsequent report generated headliens such as: ‘A third of Muslim students back killings’ (Sunday Times); ‘One third of British Muslim students say it’s acceptable to kill for Islam’ (London Evening Standard) and ‘Killing for religion is justified, say third of Muslim students’ (Sunday Telegraph).
