<\/p>\nMuslims are increasingly feeling at home in Canada and feel the country is moving in the right direction, according to a new survey.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More than 80 per cent said they were proud to be Canadian, while 90 per cent felt positive about the new federal government and its policies.<\/p>\n
The figures, presented by the Environics Institute, show a significant increase since the same survey was last conducted ten years ago.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, 84 per cent believe they are treated better in Canada than they would be in other western countries.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, 35 per cent say they have been discriminated against because of their religion.<\/p>\n
The survey asked a sample of 600 adult Canadian Muslims a series of questions about their lives in the country.<\/p>\n
Muneeb Nasir from the Olive Tree Foundation, one of the lead partners on the study, said: \u201cThe survey enables us to look beyond the rhetoric and perceptions about Muslims and get a picture of how Canadian Muslims are faring and how they are regarded.<\/p>\n
\u201cQuite importantly, it shows that Muslims take their citizenship seriously and are very proud to be Canadian.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, despite this strong attachment, the fact that 35 per cent of Muslims have reported experiencing discrimination or unfair treatment in the past five years is concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n
