The Runnymede report demonised victims and apportioned blame to Muslims themselves

Evidence

The Muslim News continued in an even more controversial vein, claiming that the report demonised the victims of Islamophobia and internalised blame and responsibility, and in some ways, that the report was even pro-Jewish. Whilst the newspaper’s allegations may suggest minor sensationalism, some evidence would appear to exist that offers some substantiation. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 287
