LONDON'S MUSLIM COMMUNITY

EDM number 1284 in 2006-07, proposed by Andrew Dismore on 17/04/2007.

That this House welcomes the findings of the Gallup poll study on the attitudes of Muslim residents of London, which shows that 88 per cent. considered attacks on civilians and 81 per cent. considered violence in a `noble cause' not to be justified and that a much higher proportion of Muslims than the population at large very strongly identified with their country, and had confidence in the police, honesty of elections, the judicial system and the Government; considers that these findings put some tabloid reporting of the Muslim community to shame; and urges the media to reflect this very positive image of London's Muslims to ensure fair balance when commenting on issues of relevance to the Muslim community.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
