Almost a quarter of British Muslims say the 7/7 bombings can be justified because of the Government's support for the war on terror, according to an opinion poll.
And nearly half of those polled, or 45%, believe the 9/11 attacks on New York were a conspiracy between the US and Israel.
The survey, for a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary to be screened tonight, found Muslims under the age of 24 were twice as likely to justify the 7/7 attacks as those aged over 45.
It found 24% across all age groups either agreed or tended to agree that the 7/7 bombings were justified, although 48% said they "strongly disagreed" and 17% said they did not know.
The figures are significantly higher than those from a poll last month, in which 7% thought suicide attacks on civilians in the UK could be justified in some circumstances - rising to 16% if they were aimed at a military target.
Almost four in 10 surveyed for the Channel 4 poll believe another attack will be launched in the UK by British-born Muslim terrorists.
A third of those questioned said they would rather live under Sharia law in the UK than British law.
The survey also reveals concerns among Muslims about Britain's moral standards, with 40% saying it is a country of bad moral behaviour, and 66% saying parents allow their children too much freedom.
Half said that police stop and search too many Muslims and 44% said they would rather send their children to a Muslim school.
The poll was released just before Britain's most senior Asian police officer was expected to warn that anti-terror laws discriminate against Muslims and could "criminalise" ethnic minorities.
It was reported today that Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner Tarique Ghaffur will call for an independent judicial review to investigate what caused the "anger and resentment" of young British Muslims that lay behind the July 7 bombings in London

Quite interesting -- they run from their muslime slimeholds and then want to make their new lands into more muslime slimeholds. No wonder Indians in Britain don't want to be clubbed along with these muslimes, the Hindus and Sikhs and Christians from the Indian sub-continent get along well with the whites, but then these aren't tainted by Islam...

Justified? And the justification is based on what?

My first reaction was that the world has gone mad... But upon further reflection, it became clear that no, the world may be reasonably sane, and it is simply British Muslims who have overwhelmingly gone insane (upon even further reflection, the 'have gone' part of that implies that they might have been sane beforehand, which assumes facts not in evidence)...

I wonder what percentage of American Muslims feel similarly about 9/11?
They are who the enemy is.

With that many British muslims feeling that way, Britain had better standby for more of the same.

justified based on the fact that the UK is still majority non-muslim. The Holey Koran and Hadiths say that the world is divided into two places: Dar-ul-islam, where nearly everyone is muslime and the dhimmis pay jiziya tax and are treated as third-rate citizens and dar-ul-something, where non-muslims are in majority and there is continuous war to make this part of dar=ul-islam...
hence, if you are an infidel, you must be killed by the nearest muslime available.

By their own behavior -- Muslims are making it unavoidably clear they are unsuited for living outside of Islamic lands...
They don't assimilate, accommodate or tolerate....they fornicate, populate, demonstrate, agitate, incinerate, assassinate and facilitate terrorism....

On the other hand, perhaps they have been so busy reading their pipe dream they forgot to note how we handled the last group of people we got really irritated at. They might google Dresden, Cologne, Hamburg, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki and see what they all had in common.
Ya think?

I wonder if men were the only ones to answer this question or were women included too.

When will the world understand that Muslims are incapable of being loyal to a country. They are only loyal to Islam. How many of us are still waiting for Muslims to condemn their bretheren who were responsible for 9/11 and other atrocities all over the wold in the name of Islam. I have a question. Muslims always talk about men gladly killing themselves for their 72 virgins. What do the female lunatics who kill themselves in the name of Islam get?
