Overview

• A YouGov survey of 2,130 adults found 53% of Britons view Islam as incompatible with British values and 41% see Muslim immigrants negatively.
• Leaders Sabah Ahmedi and Khalil Yousuf condemned the results as “shocking” and urged open-house mosque events ahead of the Jalsa Salana convention.
• Younger respondents demonstrated more positive attitudes, with under-30s less likely than older groups to doubt Islam’s fit with British society.
• Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner briefed Cabinet on social cohesion and ministers reiterated a commitment to tackling anti-Muslim hate.
• This weekend’s Jalsa Salana in Hampshire will explicitly welcome sceptics and critics as part of intensified outreach efforts.
