An advertising campaign promoting British Muslims as integrated citizens who reject extremism has been launched.
Islam is Peace - formed after the bombings in London in July 2005 - has initially placed adverts on the capital's buses and Underground trains.
They show a range of Muslims - including a policewoman, a Scout group and the chef Michael Barry - with the slogan "Proud to be a British Muslim".
Organisers say research shows many Britons associate Islam with terrorism.
