Article- "More than a quarter of young adults in Britain do not trust Muslims"

• Of the 1,000 young people questioned in a BBC survey, 27 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds said they didn't trust Muslims, while a similar number said Britain would be better off with fewer Muslims
• 60 per cent thought the British public had a negative image of Muslims and 44 per cent said Muslims do not have the same values as the rest of the population.
• 16 per cent said they didn't trust Hindus or Sikhs, 15 per cent said they didn't trust Jewish people, while 13 per cent and 12 per cent said they didn't trust Buddhists and Christians respectively.
• 'The kind of comments, the kind of looks and stares that we're experiencing at this moment in time is very different to what it was before,' she said.
• 'They've become much more hostile, much more bitter, and much more aggressive in nature. It's actually got to the stage where I'm beginning to feel that I want to stay in my house.'
• Young people are also divided over whether or not immigration is good for Britain overall. Two-fifths say it is a good thing but more than a third disagree

To conclude, because of the media, people are no longer trusting Muslims. The media represents Muslims in a exaggerated negative way and this creates a moral panic within our society. People are influenced by the things they see on TV and are oblivious to the fact that it is not always true and can be extremely exaggerated. (covert influence)
