Muslim students were relatively more positive about the second group of questions (see
Appendix 8d), which may seem paradoxical. The implication seems to be that whilst
positive about community and family, there is a slight tendency among these students for
Muslims to see character as something to which they have to make a positive contribution.
The consultant did not consider either group of questions as more likely to attract a
positive response from Muslims and guessed that there would be a balance, but suggested
that they might show a relative bias towards individual responsibility when compared
with others who might be biased away from this.
