Can we trust muslims?

The group portrait of British Muslims painted by YouGov's survey for The Daily Telegraph is at once reassuring and disturbing, in some ways even alarming.

The vast majority of British Muslims condemn the London bombings but a substantial minority are clearly alienated from modern British society and some are prepared to justify terrorist acts.

As the figures in the chart show, 88 per cent of British Muslims clearly have no intention of trying to justify the bus and Tube murders.

However, six per cent insist that the bombings were, on the contrary, fully justified.

Six per cent may seem a small proportion but in absolute numbers it amounts to about 100,000 individuals who, if not prepared to carry out terrorist acts, are ready to support those who do.

100,000 is a significant amount. Its also very scary if you think about it. We may have 100,000 muslims in this country who are ready to carry out the bombings in london. Do we really want those people in our country?

Moreover, the proportion of YouGov's respondents who, while not condoning the London attacks, have some sympathy with the feelings and motives of those who carried them out is considerably larger - 24 per cent.

That is 4 times larger than the ones prepared. so we have 100,000 prepared to carry out acts and 400,000 that are ready cheer them on. What a scary thought. Its time Blair did something about this before it gets to the point of no return where we will have daily terror attacks.

The sheer scale of Muslim alienation from British society that the survey reveals is remarkable. Although a large majority of British Muslims are more than content to make their home in this country, a significant minority are not.

For example, YouGov asked respondents how loyal they feel towards Britain. As the figures in the chart show, the great majority say they feel "very loyal" (46 per cent) or "fairly loyal" (33 per cent) but nearly one British Muslim in five, 18 per cent, feels little loyalty towards this country or none at all.

We need to get those 18% loyal as those don't care about the country and it is unlikely they ever will. If they don't care about the country they also don't care what terror attacks happen here. We must somehow change their minds.

YouGov asked respondents how they feel about Western society and how, if at all, they feel Muslims should adapt to it. A majority, 56 per cent, believe "Western society may not be perfect but Muslims should live with it and not seek to bring it to an end".

However, nearly a third of British Muslims, 32 per cent, are far more censorious, believing that "Western society is decadent and immoral and that Muslims should seek to bring it to an end".

I wonder if by bring it to an end they mean destroy it through terror?

The chart is scary reading. If it is true which it probably is then there are far more terror attacks to come. Can we really trust muslims anymore? I don't think so. Whether they are a policeman or the local halal butcher or a martial arts expert I don't think we can trust them anymore eventhough most are peaceful.
