What Scots Think About Muslims, Immigrants And Gays

Daily Record (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/editors-choice/2007/12/12/what-scots-think-about-muslims-immigrants-and-gays-86908-20237648/)

NEARLY 30 per cent of Scots still think it is all right to be prejudiced.
Anti-Muslim feeling has increased since the start of the "war on terror", and more than a third of us would be unhappy if a relative married a gypsy or an asylum-seeker.  Half of Scots believe our nation will lose its identity if more Muslims come to live here.  And 14 per cent continue to claim that a woman's place is in the home.
