Problem: Some non-Muslim students are awkward in relating to us as Muslims.
Key Questions:
1. What is the cause of the problem?
A lack of understanding and tolerance for other briefs and cultures.
Image perception and social integration problems resulting from this.
Perception of clash of cultures.
2. What impact does the problem have on Leeds students?
We involve muslim volunteers too much; we dont approach non muslims; we are not making the extra effort.
Isolation ; non muslims feel awkward because the muslims put a barrier between themselves and the non muslims which results in isolation.
Media- negative image given in media. Non muslims do not want to be affiliated with ‘extremists’.
Non muslims often generalise us now; use stereotypes.
Excellent questions...can't wait to read the report!
