29. In the UK, there is certainly prejudice against Muslims...
but far more against 'immigrants'. I suspect that the former is often a symptom of the latter: people aren't so much prejudiced against certain immigrants and their descendants because they practice Islam, as prejudiced against Islam because it's a religiou practiced by 'a bunch of bloody foreigners'!

In recent polls, only 16% of Brits admitted to negative views of Islam, while 50% supported 'voluntary' repatriation of immigrants (thanks, tabloids!)
