Huge rise in Scots with racist prejudices

This is a classic example of how the mainstream media alter peoples theories and brand them as racists.

Scots are becoming increasingly prejudiced against Muslims, according to a wide-ranging survey carried out after the terror attacks of July 2005 but before the strike on Glasgow Airport this summer.
Half of those questioned in the government study said Scotland would lose its identity if more Muslims come to the country - up on the 38% who said the same in 2003 when a similar survey was taken.
The number of Scots who would be unhappy if a relative formed a close relationship with a Muslim was also up over the three years, from 20% to 24%, but while almost one-third of Scots believe there is sometimes a good reason to be prejudiced - an attitude which is on the rise - the number of people who are prejudiced against gays and lesbians is decreasing.
The findings of the Scottish Government's 2006 Scottish Social Attitudes Survey were gathered from interviews with 1594 adults.
Last night, Communities Minister Stewart Maxwell described the change in attitudes towards Muslims as worrying and promised the government would "provide leadership" to fight prejudice.
He partly blamed the terrorist attacks in America on September 11, 2001, and in Britain in July 2005 for the trends.
"The survey suggests when people fear their culture is under threat they are more likely to hold discriminatory attitudes against particular groups," the minister said.
Osama Saeed, of the Muslim Council of Scotland, described the findings as "Islamophobia".
He said: "Given the international situation and a lot of irresponsible and mendacious coverage by sections of the media, these results are not entirely surprising.

Imagine peoples feelings if the media had reported the truth about the cult of the dead paedophile.
