SoCiaL iSSueS ReLaTeD To My WoRK -

some of the social issues that my work relates to is now the hatred between muslim and other religion living in the u.k. There have been lots of hate crime, that have been relating to the racial issues of muslim against the rest. Many mosque have been shot at all throughout the uk and many children being bullied just because of the religion they believe in.

other social issues are stories such as the uk government suggested that muslim women should stop wearin hijab- as this will create more hate crime. however many muslims will argue they feel as if their identity has been taken away from them and also that the goverment shouldnt have the right to tell a religion what is right and what is wrong. government and religion should not mix.


there are comtempary issues such as riots occuring in uk , rite now that present exactly what social problems are caused coz of islamaphobia. the link below explains it:

also nowadays there are more muslim living in western areas such uk, france, generally in europe meanin the "western" people have to learn to live with what they call the "enemy" which u can imagine, causes alot of voilence!

    You also need to do some research into the changing demographics of western society - more muslims in Europe, in particular. Get info.

    How does this affect attitudes? Why?

    Also - consider the riots in Birmingham last week and the tensions between ethnic minority groups.

    It was once thought that all racism was white racism but that's now seen to be a myth.

    There has been lots in The Guardian and The Observer about what these events mean.

    Muslim youth getting involved in drug gangs or becoming more economically successfu than black people.

    Lots to consider - go research!
