UK: 44% of Muslims against integration

UK: 44% of Muslims against integration


MUSLIMS want to create their own communities and remain segregated from British society.


A shocking 44% think they should be free to develop along separate lines.


But critics claim Muslims will create their own ghettos if they are left to their own devices.


The poll found religion has replaced race as the biggest equality issue, with six in 10 Brits thinking it is more divisive. Mass tension has grown following terror attacks from Muslim fanatics, including the 7/7 Tube bombings in 2005.


The war in Iraq has also added to divisions leaving many communities split.


But critics are fuming Muslims are refusing to fit into our way of life.


English Democrats' chairman Robin Tilbrook said: "As far as I'm concerned, what we want to be about is having an integrated society.


"If people don't want to  integrate, they shouldn't be here.


"It's not at all right to have what's really a sort of ghetto situation developing – it's going to lead to trouble.


"We can't have a single society with lots of different rules." Stephen Green, national director of Christian Voice, said: "I'm not surprised because there are already Muslim enclaves all over the country. They keep themselves to themselves anyway."


The Equalities and Human Rights Commission poll found 67% of Muslims would not be happy for their child to marry someone of a different religion. But marrying someone from a different race bothers them less, with 61% content with the idea.


The shock results come a day after commission chairman Trevor Phillips said Britain was "by far" the least racist country in Europe.


And the commission said the poll confirmed Brits are "increasingly at ease with racial diversity".
