Britons have most positive view of Muslims in study of eight European countries

But research finds 26% of UK respondents hold negative perception of Muslims

British people have the most positive view of Muslims out of eight European countries, new research has found.

It found that those polled in the UK were more likely to be concerned with health and economic matters.

Despite this, the research commissioned by anti-racism advocacy group Hope not Hate found that 26 per cent of respondents in the UK had a negative perception of Muslims.

About 30 per cent of the Britons had a negative view towards immigrants, compared with 27 per cent who regarded them positively.

Almost a third were hostile towards immigrants in the eight European countries overall, with the sentiment particularly prominent in Hungary. Sweden had the most positive view.

Polling of more than 12,000 people in France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the UK was carried out by YouGov and DataPraxis at the end of 2020.

Researchers also looked at perceptions of the Roma community. More than a third of Europeans polled had a negative opinion, with the trend particularly pronounced in France and Italy.

The figures formed part of a wider report called State of Hate: Far Right in Europe,  Hope not Hate's widest analysis for the past year.

“Unsurprisingly, for the European far right both the global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests were seen as opportunities,” said Joe Mulhall, senior researcher at Hope not Hate.

“Though much of the European far right has failed to exploit the pandemic as much as they hoped, it has ushered in a new age of conspiracy theories as people seek comfort in simple and monocausal explanations for a world seemingly out of control."

But the aims of the Black Lives Matter movement in highlighting racism and the discrimination faced by minorities did receive more support.

About half of those polled in most of the countries said they had sympathy with the movement’s aims.

Nick Lowles, chief executive of Hope not Hate, said some of Europe’s far-right parties in opposition were doing better in the polls than a couple of years ago.

Mr Lowles said the Brothers of Italy, the Swedish Democrats and France’s Marine Le Pen had improved in polls.

“Clearly Le Pen is benefiting from the current unpopularity of Macron, both in his handling of the pandemic but also wider economic and political issues,” he said.

But Mr Lowles noted a fall in popularity for Poland’s Law and Justice Party, even though member Andrzej Duda was re-elected as president last year.

The far-right failed to fully capitalise on the economic and social chaos of the Covid-19 pandemic, but it has not stopped a “sharp increase” in hate crimes and speech against Asians, Muslims and Jews, said Safya Khan-Ruf, a Hope not Hate researcher.

“Online, this has been evident through misinformation campaigns, stigmatising memes and conspiracy theories around Covid-19 and minority groups,” Ms Khan-Ruf said.

“The far-right have successfully repackaged hateful ideas within new Covid-19 conspiracy theories, such as Jews being responsible for creating the pandemic or Muslims spreading the virus intentionally."

Mr Lowles said hate ideologies were being internationalised "like never before".
"As the coronavirus pandemic has swept across Europe, we have seen some radical and far-right groups prosper and some flounder," he said.

"At a European level, it’s clear that conspiracy theories, many with anti-Semitic roots, are gaining in popularity and that a rising racial nationalism is accompanying the continued increase in far-right terror."

Tips for job-seekers
  • Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
  • Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.

Quick pearls of wisdom

Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”

Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”

What the law says

Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East.

“Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,” she explains.

“Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer’s discretion and require approval.”

If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.
