إسكتلندا: دراسة تؤكد استهداف أمن المطارات للمسافرين المسلمين

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أشارت دراسة بعنوان: "الأسلمة الظاهرة في إسكتلندا بين التمييز والاندماج"، صادرة من "جامعة دورهام" الإسكتلندية - إلى أن المسلمين يتعرضون للاستهداف أثناء التفتيش بالمطارات بشكل عنصري تمييزي غير متكافئ؛ مما يخالف طبيعة التسامح التي تتَّسم بها الدولة، ويَحولُ دون اندماج المسلمين في المجتمع.

وأكد الدكتور "ستيفانو بونينو" - في تقرير الدراسة - أن أكثر ما يُقلق المسلمين أثناء السفر طريقة تعامُل الأمن معهم؛ حيث يتعرَّض الكثير منهم لسوء المعاملة، على أساس التنميط الديني والعرقي، والتربُّص بالأفراد ذَوِي المظهر الإسلامي؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Research: Muslims targeted at Scottish airports

Muslims are believed to be specifically and disproportionately targeted during airport security checks in Scotland, according to a Durham University's research study.

Research carried out in Edinburgh focussed on Muslim immigrants and Scottish-born Muslims who felt Scotland was a "tolerant, friendly and inclusive place", but were concerned about being treated as a "suspect community" in airports.

The study, titled "Visible Muslimness in Scotland: Between Discrimination and Integration", also incorporated a survey of other studies focused on Glasgow and the rest of Scotland.

It suggests that the disproportionate targeting of Asian and Muslim travellers is undermining the integration of Muslim immigrants into Scottish society.

"Contact with police and security officers at airports constitutes the main area of concern for Scottish Muslims," said Durham University's Dr Stefano Bonino in the report.

"Most of Edinburgh's Muslims had either themselves experienced, or had relatives and/or friends who were subjected to perceived disproportionate targeting or harsh treatment, when leaving from or arriving at Scottish airports. For the most part, respondents argued that this was the result of the ethnic and religious profiling that the police and security officers allegedly use to target people of seemingly Muslim appearance," he added
