The Commission on
British Muslims and Islamophobia, along with many others have long been
concerned about the tragic events in the USA and other terrorist
activities.
They are concerned
that reporting of incidents in some of the media could create an
atmosphere in which many Muslims feel intimidated or have received
verbal abuse and threats. They are particularly concerned about the
effect that this may have on children and young people – Muslim and
non-Muslim - both generally and while at school as a result of any
distorted portrayal of Islam and Muslims.
In
Aberdeen City, we are committed to
developing an atmosphere of respect for and inclusion of, all people,
regardless of race, culture, or religion, and to developing a climate in
which diversity is valued. We ask everyone to continue to be vigilant
for any suggestion of intimidation or verbal abuse to our young people.
