Arsenal want the match tonight replied only one goal in it!
Not surprising I suppose (source: https://www.theguardian.com/society...ely-overestimate-muslim-population-poll-shows) There are graphics in the actual web page.
"Members of the public in European states including France, Belgium, Germany and the UK greatly overestimate their country’s Muslim population and the rate at which it is growing.
An Ipsos Mori survey that measured the gap between public perception and reality in 40 countries in 2016 found French respondents were by far the most likely to overstate their country’s current and projected Muslim population.
Pew Research, France’s Muslim population actually stood at 7.5% in 2010, or one in 13 people.
French respondents were also widest of the mark when it came to the projected Muslim population in 2020. The average prediction was that Muslims would make up 40% of the French population in four years’ time, almost five times the 8.3% Pew Research projection.
The French were not the only ones to hold such misconceptions: Italian, German and Belgian respondents all guessed that more than a fifth of the resident population was Muslim, while in reality the figure ranges from 3.7% in Italy to 7% in Belgium. All three countries also greatly overstated the expected proportion of Muslim residents in 2020.
British respondents put the current Muslim population at 15%, three times the 2010 figure, while they overestimated the projected 2020 population by an even greater margin (22%versus an actual projection of 6%).
In the US the average estimate was Muslims accounted for one in six people, whereas Pew put the actual figure at one in 100, while the future projection was even further off the mark.
Australian respondents’ average estimate was that 12.5% of the country was Muslim, where the true figure is 2.4%. Their future projection of 21% was far off the actual projection of 3%."

I knew that actually - our Muslim population is much much less of a percentage than is generally perceived.
Glad you are ok Joey. Was concerned that the excitement of that match might have affected your health!
May depend where you live. Very high in my area and much changed over 20 years. Previously much like anyone else, now hijabs on most. While that would not be a problem in itself to me it is a problem when there is coercion to "encourage" young women to cover up or on anyone to be a certain way. Id like to see empowerment taught in schools and people taught to think and stand up for themselves. Would also like to see forced "persuasion" of anything (not just things muslim) an offence
How are you defining very high?
I agree that anything forced is not good.
Don't know mate, meant relatively high compared to other areas of the country (and if I told you whereI lived and googled the facts they would back me up) I don't disagree with your article though and haven't got a problem with muslims per se being in the country but don't like to see anyone coerced or forced to be a certain way. Not just a problem with Islam but a prominent one the way it has evolved into the form it is at the moment
