Synopsis

Muslim-West relations have become increasingly strained due to
a string of events such as September 11th attacks, the Afghanistan war, the
Iraq war, the London bombings and the Danish cartoon row. In this climate,
an analysis has been carried uot on Muslim and non-Muslim opinions on
international and UK issues that are affecting relations between the Muslim
world and the West as well as the relationship between Britain's Muslims
and non-Muslims. The report explores which issues are having the greatest
impact and what can be done to resolve the differences. The report also
highlights areas of shared concern as well as those issues that are causing
the greatest concern to either Muslims or non-Muslims.

About this title

From the Publisher

The successful use of opinion polls in helping to resolve the
conflict in Northern Ireland emphasised the importance of survey work in
finding common ground between communities. Hence, similar research methods
have been used in an attempt to resolve differences between Muslims and
non-Muslims.

From the Author

The purpose of the research is to enhance public and Muslim
participation in the decision making process by making their views
available to key decision makers. It is also hoped that Muslims and
non-Muslims can use the findings to understand the other side's perspective
and initiate debate and discussion which may lead to a positive change in
attitudes and improved.
