According to a youGov poll carried out in Britain 13% of British muslims are supporters of terrorism in Britain.

How should people react to this news?

I dont understand. Who were the participators in the poll ? Did they ask some british muslims if they were terrorists and they answered yes ?

No, they can ask if you supported the actions of the 7/7 bombers. A yes, would indicate you support terrorism.

I see. I have to say the low percentage is not surprising.

if 13% support it then 87% don't
sounds good no?

If Britain’s Muslim population is 1.6 million, this means more than 100,000 Muslims would applaud another attack like the 7/7 bombings. And how many more would have admitted to the same beliefs, if not for fear of being reported?

Though Mod was suppose to ask for the link.
Anyway , link or evidence require before comment.

^^exactly :)
and wudjab if 13% means more than 100,000 then 87% means much much more
don't even try ;)

Without providing the evidence based on an imaginary (until proved) static’s your labeling a bigger section of Muslims in UK ( this means more than 100,000 Muslims. As per calculation of Mr.Wudjab.) as supporter of terrorist.
Where as Muslim community as a whole in Britain condemned those stupid acts.
Is this intentional or mistake.

Well, its troubling, but we need to know the question was asked. Theres been polls where its like can you understand the actions of the terrorists, where someone like me would say, ok I understand their anger and why. doesnt mean I support their actions, but it may be portrayed that I do.

If you had 100,000 expatriates in Oman who supported violence within Oman, you would be singing a different tune.

Let me not play flute and you don’t dance around.
Come to the point and provide evidence, please.

What is wrong with you ?

I don't understand why Mr. sheik-al-Tort hesitant to provide evidence in support of his statement.
Is this un true, fabricated.
I know 0% British Muslim in Britain support terrorism.
But majority Muslim in Britain treat greatest terrorist is Bush.

My pleasure to educate you (yet again) shamsery.

You really should get out some more, counterpunch.com and antiwar.com are not reliable news sources, since they only tell you what you want to hear.

A SIGNIFICANT minority of British Muslims believe they are at war with the rest of society, the largest poll of Muslims in this country suggests.

The Populus survey for The Times and ITV News has found that more than one in ten thinks that the men who carried out the London bombings of 7/7 should be regarded as “martyrs”. Sixteen per cent of British Muslims, equivalent to more than 150,000 adults, believe that while the attacks were wrong, the cause was right.
But the poll also revealed a stark gulf between this group and the majority of British Muslims, who want the Government to take tougher measures against extremists within their community.

More than half (56 per cent) believe that the Government has failed to combat extremism, a higher proportion than the 49 per cent of the general population who agree.

Nearly half (49 per cent) of Britain’s 1.6 million Muslims also think it acceptable for the authorities to monitor what is being preached in mosques more closely.

Trevor Phillips, the chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality, said it was as if some groups were living in a different country.

“These results show that there are people within the Muslim communities who are so far away from the mainstream of society, as well as the mainstream of British Muslims, that they think that they are at war with the rest of the community. Thankfully, we know that a vast majority of Muslims are not in that place,” he said.

Assistant Met Commissioner Tariq Ghaffur, Britain’s most prominent Muslim policeman, said: “The poll shows that we do have a minority of people within our community who do effectively pose a danger.

“The tipping point between someone feeling anger and alienation and then engaging in the kind of atrocities we saw last July or being exploited by somebody who wants to commit a terrible act is very, very small.”

Populus interviewed 1,131 Muslim adults aged 18+ by telephone and online between June 1-16 for the poll.

I predict so.

You are stooping to new lows with your ignorance.

Please wallow in your own ignorance and don't bother us with your rants any further.

A bad workman quarrel with his tools.

well whether this poll is true or not & whether it is a large % or small % tht support terrorism it's still appauling tht there is a certain number of "muslims" who would agree 2 such a thing. personally i think if these so called "muslims" support terrorism then they'r almost clueless abt their faith, bcuz islam has never accepted the killing of innocent lives, old & young, male & female, regardless of wut their religion might me. in islam it just isnt done tht way.

You are true and obviously they will not admit the sprit of Islam.
But it is not important to ask them the evidence?
Is it not attempt of defaming Islam?

well isnt tht the main problem islam is facing right now? all over the world ppl have a bad idea abt our gr8 religion due 2 the immoral actions of the so called muslims who seem 2 represent every other living muslim & islam itself. if muslims really want 2 do something useful i dont think they should just show the evidence tht "terrorism" is prohibited in our religion; i thikn they should show the evidence of the prohibitation of all the negative actions certain muslims r making, as well as showing the calmness & peace of islam

Good job MissG.
