Abstract
The purpose of this report is to help shed light on the extent and nature of Islamophobia in the UK. We ask what it is, show how widespread it is, and provide one answer to the complex question of why, when compared with most other forms of prejudice, Islamophobia attracts so little public censure. To do this, we use a survey designed by us and administered by YouGov, which examines what British people think about Islam, Muslims and other ethnic and religious minorities. We use this data not only to highlight the pervasiveness of Islamophobia in the UK but also to argue that Islamophobia comes in two distinct varieties, racial and religious. While we agree with recent definitions of the term that Islamophobia is a form of racism that targets Muslims, we also demonstrate that it manifests as a distinctively anti-religious prejudice.
