Do 20% of British Muslims really sympathise with jihadists?
BBC News ^ | 8 hours ago 2015-12-01 | James Melley

Last week, the UK's most popular newspaper, the Sun, ran the headline "1 in 5 Brit Muslims' sympathy for jihadis". Where did that statistic come from and how reliable is it?

Actually, I think that figure is outrageously low. I’d say more like 80% or better.

Should not the headline read "1 in 5 Brit Muslims' have no sympathy for jihadis?"

I read somewhere that 80% of Muslims support their religion.

1 in 5 say they sympathize with jihad. The other 4 practice taqiyya.

In the article it says they asked if the Muslims sympathize with ISIS. Then they go on to say places like Lebanon show little sympathy. They are asking the wrong question. There is no sympathy amound the differing sects. Should have asked if they support Islam being the political system. That would be much more telling.

15% ARE jihadists. At least another 40-50% are cheering them on.

The Brits love their Muslims. They’ll look for any shred of proof that the Muslims love them back. They don’t.

Observation for any length of time leads one to the conclusion that Muslims and/or their enablers run the media.

YouTube video ever Brit, German, Canadian, Norwegian, Dutchman, Frenchman, American, Russian, Chinaman, oh hell, every human, needs to watch.

The reason being, fear and following, we know how intimidation works...

Here are moderate Muslims, like Germans saying “Heil Hitler!”

We have to have a conservative Main Stream Media Outlet that is free to watch like the others before it’s too late to create.

Only 20% support Jihad. That is the number who are willing to engage in the violent aspects of jihad if given the call.Almost all of the rest think it is the necessary thing. Some actually and in voice oppose jihad but that is mostly to keep the kaffirs off balance.

I’d say more like 90%. You are always going to have 10% that are going to disagree with any topic. But why would they be Muzzie if they disagreed with them?

I think you’re closer. Depends on what you mean by “support.” Look the other way? Say you “oppose,” but don’t do anything?

Considering their “charity” monies go to jihad, and probably near 100% would say they support “charity,” the figure is in effect near 100%.

If they are truly muslims then 100 percent of them support the Islamic warriors.

I believe that anyone who is a Muslim is clinically insane.

Personally, I believe the liberal mind is beset with a mental disease or defect that distorts reality. While the jury may still be out on whether they themselves recognize that they have this defect and otherwise know right from wrong, the question is irrelevant to dealing with the effect the abnormal behavior has on all of us. Outwardly, they may appear normal but inwardly their mental processes are scrambled. They routinely will parse words out of normal meaning to force fit their abnormal reality. They twist language backwards, using the same disgusting words like ‘racist’ that accurately describe their behavior to tar and feather their opponent. When these tactics no longer work, they will completely rewrite history as with the 9/11 celebrations in Patterson, N.J and the story of Southern black segregation. They despise and ignore what is known as common sense and the truth unless it fits their narrative. In their crazy, upside down world, the only way to feel good about themselves is to try and make their delusional world the new normal and coerce everyone else into agreeing with them.
