Is Islam Compatible with British Values?!

Picture adapted from the report “Islam and Muslims on UK University Campuses: Perceptions and Challenges”

A new report published by SOAS, Coventry, Durham and Lancaster Universities shows that 20% of the study sample (more than 2000 students at UK universities) believe that Islam is not compatible with British values. Full report is here Islam on campus report 2020.

I was glad to be hosted by 10 BBC radio stations in round-robin style interviews on Sunday morning and evening. I had the chance to comment briefly on the report and give some input. Here are the links to the phone interviews with the exact time under each radio station. The comments are very similar, but I recommend listening to Jersey, York, Stoke and Cornwall stations for the best summary. You will need to to have a BBC account to be able to listen to the recordings (the recordings may be available only for a few weeks).
