Islamophobia, double standards and discrimination in British legal system

A new report by the  Islamic Human Rights Commission examines Islamophobia, double standards and discrimination in the British legal system.

“The results show that whilst an overwhelming 91% of respondents respect British law, most of those who were questioned in detail stated that they believed the law is unfair and furthermore only a handful feel protected by the law. Respondents mainly cite the police to be the greatest cause of conflict. There was an overwhelming response that the law neither recognised nor protected Muslims and that it was hostile to Muslims as a result of their faith.”
