Half of Britons Say Islam Incompatible With National Values, Plurality Say Muslim Migration Has Negative Impact.
Getty ImagesLess than a quarter of Britons think Muslim migration is a net positive to the United Kingdom and a clear majority say Islam is not compatible with British values, a study finds.
Britons are sceptical on the contribution of Muslim-faith migrants to the United Kingdom compared to arrivals from other faith groups, a survey conducted by major pollster YouGov finds. Among the key findings are that 41 per cent of respondents say Muslim immigrants have a negative impact on the United Kingdom while only 24 per cent say they have an overall positive effect.
While no faith-based migrant group was said to be positive overall, there are some major differentials. Just seven per cent called Christian migrants negative, while Jewish, Sikh, and Hindu arrivals enjoyed a rough parity on also low figures between 13 and 15 per cent.
