Attitudes, values and perceptions

The report examines a range of attitudes, perceptions and behaviours including engagement, cohesion, interaction, identity, trust and perceptions of prejudice and discrimination. Findings for Muslims are compared with findings for the general population. Variations by age and sex within the Muslim population are also discussed.
It is important to recognise that whilst limited numbers have not allowed for a finer breakdown of the Muslim population, beyond age and sex, it is misleading to speak of a single, discrete Muslim community; there are important differences within Muslim communities, often related to differences in ethnicity, country (and region) of origin and regional location within England.
