(New Arab) British Muslims living in the UK are happier than their co-religionists living in other European nations, a survey commissioned by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL) has reported.
The survey also found that they feel optimistic about Britain’s future and feel they have the freedom to practise their faith whilst participating in public life.
The research is one of two surveys exploring forms of social belonging, attitudes towards family and community, and views on the degree to which Britain offers opportunities for people to fulfil their potential.
Over half of the respondents (51 percent) reported having a strong sense of belonging in their local community and neighbourhood. This drops to 35 percent for respondents in the wider general population survey.
