poll reveals uk, muslims infidelophobia

A new poll commissioned by the Times of London for the anniversary of the 7/7 bombings shows a significant minority of British Muslims are on the wrong side. from: [Allahpundit.)

* 13% of British Muslims think that the four men who carried out the London Tube and bus bombings of July 7, 2005, should be regarded as “martyrs”

* 7% agree that suicide attacks on civilians in the UK can be justified in some circumstances, rising to 16 per cent for a military target

* 16% of British Muslims say that while the attacks may have been wrong, the cause was right

* 2% would be proud if a family member decided to join al-Qaeda. Sixteen per cent would be “indifferent”


56% of British Muslims believe that the Government is not doing enough to fight extremism, more than the 49 per cent of the whole population who agree

50% think the intelligence services have the right to infiltrate Muslim organisations to gather information about their activities and the way they obtain funding

65% of British Muslims say that their community needs to do more to integrate properly with British society

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.

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?
And get a load of this result:
Nearly half (49 per cent) of British Muslims think it is offensive that some non-Muslims feel anxious if they see someone they think is a Muslim on public transport carrying a backpack. However, 18 per cent say that they too feel anxious if they see someone who looks Muslim with a large bag or backpack.
For all the talk of “Islamophobia” bandied around by shills for radical Islam, it’s pretty clear from this and other similar polls that a much more serious problem, resulting in attacks and casualties around the world on a near-daily basis, is “Infidelophobia.”
Pew got a similar number when it asked about suicide bombings a few weeks ago. British Muslims know MI5 is watching them — yet 15% were still willing to admit publicly to terrorist sympathies. How many sympathizers weren’t so brave and changed their answers because they worried about being reported by the pollster?

and there getting younger
