Muslims more British than rest of population, survey finds

UK Muslims-Citizenship

Many black or Asian people living in Britain feel stronger ties to the country than whites do, according to a new government survey.

The findings put Muslims at the top of the poll, led by 91 per cent of citizens of Bangladeshi origins, followed by Indians and Pakistanis, compared with an average of only 84 among the white population who said they felt they belong strongly to Britain.

The Citizenship Survey, which is published every two years, is aimed at measuring the success of efforts to help minorities integrate and encourage a common sense of nationhood.

The findings, which confirm the results of other surveys, are contrary to the negative images of Muslims portrayed in the British media.

An ICM poll published in August as part of the BBC Asian Network's Asian Nation season, found that Muslims felt more British than Hindus.

A Gallup poll in April also concluded that Muslims are more likely to identify with Britain and have confidence in its institutions than the population of the country as a whole.

The findings have led Muslims to question why the British government is targeting its community to integrate more, including specifically pressing madrasahs to teach citizenship.

In its previous edition, the Muslim News questioned citizenship was discriminately being forced only on young Muslims in their religious school, contrary to the evidence, and said that the government was being "blinded by untruths."

I am anything but surprised, these aforementioned foreigners have any reason to feel comfortable and at home, whilst natives more and more feel they were not at home anymore. The question is how to make them to make a stand against this.
