Intolerant Christians are more militant than Muslims: Watchdog
Christians are more militant than Muslims in complaining about discrimination, the head of Britain's equality watchdog has claimed.
Trevor Phillips, the head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission,
said that Muslims are better at integrating into society, while Christians often complain about bias for cynical political gains.
Phillips blamed the increasing influence on mainstream churches of African and Caribbean immigrants with 'intolerant' views.
"Muslim communities in this country are doing their damnedest to come to terms with their neighbours to try to integrate and they're doing their best to try to develop an idea of Islam that is compatible with living in a modern liberal democracy," The Daily Mail quoted Phillips, as saying.
"The most likely victim of actual religious discrimination in British society is a Muslim, but the person who is most likely to feel slighted because of their religion is an evangelical Christian," he added.
