Islam youths are 'rejecting UK'

MORE than 100,000 young UK Muslims hold extremist or anti-British beliefs, a shock report suggests today.
Tens of thousands think Muslims who switch religions should be punished by death.
More than a third want Taliban-style Sharia law, which regards women rape victims as guilty and says adulterers should be killed by stoning.
And more than one in ten of the 16 to 24-year-olds polled "admire" Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda and other terror groups.
The survey was carried out last month for centre-right think tank Policy Exchange.
census figures show there are about 320,000 British Muslims in the age group polled — suggesting 100,000 are rejecting British values and culture.


The poll found three-quarters think women should cover their whole face with a veil. Four out of ten plan to send their kids to Islamic-only schools.
The Policy Exchange report says: "There is a growing religiosity amongst the younger generation of Muslims.

"They feel they have less in common with non-Muslims and show a stronger preference for Islamic schools and Sharia law."
Security chiefs have warned ministers that Britain is almost certainly facing another terror strike by home-grown fanatics.
The poll reveals only six per cent of youngsters believe the Muslim Council of Britain represents their views.
That is a huge blow to Tony Blair who believes the body can play an important part in improving community relations.
