About this Quote

This quote by Cat Stevens speaks with the difficulties that Muslims in the United Kingdom face due to the media's representation of Islam. He recommends that the media's representation of Islam has actually created a divide in between Muslims, creating practically tribal separations. This has actually triggered a great deal of stress and misunderstanding between Muslims and non-Muslims in the UK. The media's portrayal of Islam has actually also led to a rise in Islamophobia, which has actually made it hard for Muslims to feel accepted and safe in the UK. Cat Stevens is calling attention to the need for higher understanding and approval of Muslims in the UK, and for the media to be more accountable in its representation of Islam. He thinks that this is the best concern facing Muslims in the UK today.
