The Bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali, told the Sunday Times some had a "dual psychology" in which they sought "victimhood and domination".
The Muslim Council of Britain said the comments were "not very helpful".
The bishop, whose father converted from Islam, also said situations such as teaching could require Muslim women not to wear full-face veils.
Mr Nazir-Ali argued it would never be possible to satisfy all of the demands made by Muslims because "their complaint often boils down to the position that it is always right to intervene when Muslims are victims... and always wrong when Muslims are the oppressors or terrorists".
