81% would go to authorities

Nearly one in 10 British Muslims would not tell police if they suspected a fellow Muslim was involved in a terror attack, according to a poll.

The News Of The World claims that its poll shows 90,000 of around one million Muslims in the UK would turn a blind eye.

However, almost nine out of every 10 (86%) would contact police, according to the survey.

Among young Muslims, the figures for keeping quiet were higher with 15% of 16 to 24-year-olds saying they would not tell police and 81% saying they would.

The poll also found that one in 20 Muslims thought attacks like the July 7 bombings were justified.

And more than half (56%) said they did not believe a police warning that there are thousands of extremist British Muslims willing to carry out attacks here.

Just over a third (34%) of those questioned believed the warning and 10% said they "did not know".

The research also asked Muslims what factors were responsible for continued terror attacks in Britain.

Tony Blair, "Islamophobia" and the Islamic community's "failure" to root out extremists were among the favoured reasons.

More than eight in 10 (86%) said the Prime Minister should shoulder some of the blame and 72% blamed non-Muslims for racist and "Islamophobic" behaviour.

However, two thirds (66%) said the Muslim community's failure to root out extremists was a factor.

Meanwhile, 83% accepted that the terrorists themselves were to blame although ne in 10 said they were not.

:: ICM Research interviewed 502 Muslims aged 16 and over by telephone between September 8 and 20.The data was weighted to the profile of Muslims across the country.

No surprises there then. Muslims are digging a huge hole for themselves in the UK. Few Brits are fooled by the 'Blair to blame' argument.

Excuse me, I have my doubts.

Good Morning Alllah !

So do I. that 86% number "Blaming Blair" is probably more accurate of those who would also not turn in someone they know is planning something. They all read the same koran and follow the same pedophile prophet.

I'm guessing 9 out of 10 are liars.

Pretty much says it all in the first sentence.
The rest of the article is just "boiler plate".

What does that mean? Would they or wouldn’t they?

AFTER the terror attack.

We need a control for comparison. What is the percentage of non-muslims who would not tell the police if they knew of a terrorist plot? j/k

[shadowcat]

looks like 10% should be incarcerated

The British people chose to have this optional terror in their country. They imported Islam into their formerly safe country by electing and reelecting open-border politicians who put their nation on a path over a cliff.

Unfortunately, we in the USA are no wiser. Our "leaders" have imported millions of potential Jihadists in the past decades, a half million alone SINCE 9-11.

Muslims are told to lie.
