There is widespread discrimination, not only against Muslims, but against all people considered Non-British in UK. It is not only at individual level, but also exists on institutional and governmental level.
At my workplace I have noticed that the workers of White majority are given preference for training opportunities, progress and the coveted work assignments while the minorities (Asians or Africans) are more like help people with no role in decision making processes. Here I am not talking about some uneducated folks, they are all educated to a degree level. The most astounding fact there is that the minority workers do not resist to this 'status quo', they are just happy to find a 'respectable' job.
I was the only person, with much conviction in equality of humanity/opportunities, to protest against this and had to bear the de-humanising from the whole department from the top level management to the bottom; even the minority persons were among them and in fact they spied against me for their masters. There was a systematic harassment campaign launched against me and when I went to Human Resources to file a complaint - I was the one who got suspended from the work.
In the end, all I have to say is that 'Allah works in mysterious way', who brought my honourable return to work after more than six months of suspension; harassment though reduced there is still a large degree of antagonism present.
In Quran, it is said that every child is born in Allah's nature (that is with goodness in heart), it is only their parents (societal) indoctrination which sets out their morals and standards. If we do good, we will have good and Allah will bring out His help in the form of good/helpful people.
Moral: Do the right thing (be kind and honest to God's all creation); it is the only way to move forward.
