Political and media debates are often confined to the ‘failed integration of Muslims’, thus painting a negative picture. This Policy Brief analyses how the native and migrant populations assess the media image of Muslims, to what extent there are differences in the perception of these two groups and what the repercussions of the negative media image are on social cohesion. The Policy Brief provides models for actions, e.g. to increase media coverage on Muslims in their regular day-to-day lives outside of much-emphasized problem contexts.
