Stereotyping Islam should be made a criminal offence, says a new report.
Research has been undertaken in the UK that states the British so hate Muslims and Islam as they perceive them, that both need special protection in law.
The report highlights how people are showing "dread or hatred of Islam and Muslims". This has become "particularly dangerous", and "must be tackled with great urgency", it says.
However, some say that the report fails to address the central issue: it does not recognise the real challenge which Islam is posing to our whole secular society and it simply keeps it on the level of "let's avoid a punch up". Which of course we would all agree with, but it does not really address the serious issues."
What are your thoughts on the stereotyping of Islam?

I don't know any practicing Muslims, and there may be some living in my neighborhood. I don't think we should stereotype any peoples, whatever their faith. THis has all come about because we don't understand each other... the languages we speak are not only different in origin and tongue, but in the language of faith and worship. I think the Jewish and Christian faith have been as affected by the ways and materialistic desires of the secular world as anyone. It hurts the fundamentalists the hardest. Stereotyping does not help solve the problems. Education and the desire to know our neighbor may be the key ... not stereotyping and fear. Interesting entry.
