A four-year study into faith communities in Australia has determined that Muslims are the victims of more individual acts of violence than any other religious group.
Adelaide was identified as the most distressing city in terms of attitudes towards Muslims, with study director Professor Hickey-Moody claiming the city lacks the the kind of cosmopolitan consciousness that requires understanding social difference.
Those behind the study have committed to designing primary school education packs, with the aim of raising religious awareness and teaching students about different faiths.
