LONDON: Around a quarter of Muslims in Britain sympathise with the motives of the London bombers, while some six per cent are even ready to support those who carry out such attacks, a survey said on Saturday.
As Britain is reeling under the impact of two terror attacks within a fortnight, 88 per cent of British Muslims who participated in the survey in the "Daily Telegraph" said they clearly have no intention of justifying the bomb blasts.
But, around six per cent of the participants in the survey opined the bombings were justified and some 24 per cent said they have sympathy with the feelings and motives of those who carried out the attacks.
A substantial majority -- 56 per cent -- said whether or not they sympathise with the bombers, they can at least understand why some people might want to behave in this way.
Asked whether they agree that the ideology of the bombers was "perverted and poisonous", 58 per cent of the respondents said "yes", while around 26 per cent were relucant to be so dismissive, the survey said.
On the crucial loyality question, 46 per cent of the participants said they feel "very loyal to Britain, 33 per cent felt "fairly loyal", while 18 per cent said they have little loyality towards the country.
A huge majority of the participants felt that western culture was not perfect, but are ready to live with it rather than trying to bring it to an end.
Around 56 per cent said Muslims should live with it (western society) and not seek to bring it to an end, while nearly 32 per cent termed the culture "decadent and immoral" and opined that Muslims should seek to bring it down.
From article:
LONDON: Around a quarter of Muslims in Britain sympathise with the motives of the London bombers, while some six per cent are even ready to support those who carry out such attacks, a survey said on Saturday.
"a quarter of Muslims in Britain sympathise" (25%) plus "six per cent are even ready to support" equals 31% or approximately 1 in 3.
If the average Muslim family has only 3 members then it means at least one member in each family is either a terrorist sympathizer or willing participant.
Declare them enemies of the state, revoke citizenship from those that are naturalized and deport them with the others regardless of their immigration status.
Any computation such as the above would only be meaningful by plugging the taqqiya factor into the equation. If that were done, I suspect the number of the cultists in favour would be nearer the 90% mark.
ALL'AH U FUBAR!!!
The Brits won't do it... heck, we don't even do it.
No wars have ever really stopped until the instigators have been totally and ruthlessly thrashed.
