A third of Britons would stop their children visiting mosque

Excerpt:

About two-fifths of the population would be concerned if a mosque was built in their neighbourhood or if a family member married a Muslim.

One in five would be concerned if a Muslim family moved next door and 3 in 10 would object to their child visiting a mosque.

Yet the public blame hostility to Muslims more on right-wing and far-right groups than on the behaviour of Muslims themselves, according to a ComRes poll commissioned by a group called Muslim Engagement and Development, which seeks to involve more Muslims in media and politics.

Groups such as the English Defence League are blamed by 61% of the population, followed by 55% who blame right-wing groups such as Ukip.
