Study: Anti-Muslim Discrimination Tolerated....
The "study" fails to mention the thousands of Nazi-like anti-semitic garbage coming out of the Islamic world on a daily basis. Side note: The researcher was a Muslim himself....
Anti-Muslim prejudice is dealt with less seriously than other forms of discrimination, a university study found.
The research conducted at Bristol University examined 30 years of Government legislation and legal rulings to distinguish the difference between prejudice towards race, ethnicity and religion.
In the study, Dr Nasar Meer (you mean a Muslim was behind the study, nah then it can't be biased -ed.) research associate in the Department of Sociology at Bristol, found that Muslims are let down by race legislation because being a Muslim is recognised as a lifestyle choice or a "voluntary identity".
Dr Meer says other religious identities - such as Sikh and Jew - have had race law applied in their favour in a way not extended to Muslim communities.
He said many Muslims view their faith as an "involuntary identity" as they are born into the religion.
He said: "We explored what legislation exists to help protect people with what we call an involuntary identity. People with an involuntary identity shouldn't be disadvantaged by others' views.
"Muslims have been totally missed out of the protection offered by race-relations legislation because it treats Islam as a religion and not a race." (Actually, it's a political ideology -ed.)

I'm still divided on the "Is Islamania a race"? issue. They strut about like the master race so I'm inclined to agree that this bunch is a race (on another level I think their ideas are so wacky compared to the rest of the world that perhaps they are indeed a race-from another planet). We may need a new definition of race thanks to this bunch because the current one does not work anymore.
As for the whining about race hate laws not applying to them the Koranists shouldn't be too loud about it. Being the master race they are above such trivialities anyway.

"He said many Muslims view their faith as an "involuntary identity" as they are born into the religion."
Those must be the ones that want to leave Islam but under Islamic aposty laws, they fear they will be killed if they convert.
