Summary of articles on Islamophobia appearing in the national press.

Insted
List of links to relevant websites. In particular, see the website's new section on multiculturalism - a selection of articles, mainly recent, about ethnic, religious and national identities, and about terrorism and multiculturalism. Nearly all the articles were written for adults but several are plain, accessible and reader-friendly enough to share with young people. All may be helpful to teachers as they prepare lesson plans, assemblies and schemes of work at the present time, for example in citizenship lessons, PSHE and religious education, and as they consider angles and approaches to take in informal conversations. Also, the readings are likely to be useful in the initial training of teachers and in continuing professional development.

The compilation was made by the Insted consultancy in early September 2005. Some of the more recent articles refer, directly or indirectly, to the bombs in London in July. The articles represent between them a wide range of views and attitudes.
