Islamophobia in schools is a growing concern for the United Kingdom, since projections show there may be an estimated 300,000 Muslim teenagers in the education system by 2021. Studies show such actions are increasingly common after trigger incidences such as the Manchester bombing. [kidscape]

The Muslim Student Survey was sent out from the National Union of Students in 2017 to try to gather data on the subject of Islamophobia in educational environments. In this survey, nearly 33% of Muslim students reported either abuse or crime in their place of study. Most of these reports are believed to be directly related to Islamaphobia. It also shows a disconnect when relating to such students since only about four in ten reported Muslim students feel their student governments understand their needs.[1/3] Even in Whales, teachers in 16 of the 22 local authorities have reached out to an Anti-Racism charity, Show Racism the Red-Card, in response to incidents of racism in their schools.

Media

The British media began adopting the term 'Islamophobia' in the late 1980's in order to describe the rise in negative feelings towards the Muslim community. A report from the the Runnymede Trust later served to more dramatically move the issue into the public light in 1997. [Cardiff]

Politics

In fact, in recent polling, date shows that 60 percent of the party believes that Islam is a general threat to the well-being of Western civilization. [guardian]
