BRUSSELS, April 20 (KUNA) - A survey published by a Belgian newspaper today
found that many young Muslims in Belgium don't feel accepted by the Belgian
society.
The survey of several hundred young Muslims was carried out by the daily
'Gazet van Antwerpen' in the northern Flemish region and did not cover the
whole of Belgium.
Although 93% of those questioned are Belgian nationals, only 30% of the
Muslim youngsters consider themselves to be Belgian.
The feeling that they are discriminated against is as prevalent among the
young Muslims now as it was in 2005 when the paper carried out a similar
survey.
Around 30% of those surveyed said that they had suffered discrimination at
school and one in five said that they had been discriminated against at work.
