Killing For Religion Is Justified, Say Third Of Muslim Students

The survey found that extreme Islamist ideology has a profound influence on a significant minority of Muslims on campuses across the country.

The findings will concern police chiefs, the security services and ministers, who are struggling with radicalisation among Muslim communities.

The YouGov poll was conducted for the Right-wing think tank, the Centre for Social Cohesion, at 12 universities, including Imperial College and Kings College London. It also found:

* 40 per cent support the introduction of sharia into British law for Muslims

* a third back the notion of a worldwide Islamic caliphate (state) based on sharia law

* 40 per feel it is unacceptable for Muslim men and women to mix freely

* 24 per cent do not think men and women are equal in the eyes of Allah

* a quarter have little or no respect for homosexuals.

Although 53 per cent said that killing in the name of religion was never justified, compared with 94 per cent of non-Muslims, 32 per cent said that it was. Of these, 4 per cent said killing could be justified to "promote or preserve" religion, while 28 per cent said it was acceptable if that religion were under attack.

There was also sympathy for the view that Muslim soldiers in the Armed Forces should be allowed to opt out of operations in Muslim countries, with 57 per cent agreeing.

The report's authors found that Islamic societies on campus, operating under the umbrella of the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, exert a strong influence on many of Britain's 90,000 Muslim students. A quarter of them belong to Islamic societies and their views are often more extreme.

I guess the good news it that a minority hold these views. The bad news is that the minority will bully the majority into silent, reluctant compliance.

At least 1/2 of the students polled were lying. No way that only 1/3rd of them think that.

It’s happening here, too:

Pew Poll finds some U.S. Muslims support suicide bombing

http://www.jewishjournal.com/community_briefs/article/pew_poll_finds_some_us_muslims_support_suicide_bombing_20070601/

Pew Survey Report - May 22, 2007

http://people-press.org/report/329/muslim-americans-middle-class-and-mostly-mainstream

From the survey:

Relatively few Muslim Americans believe the U.S.-led war on terror is a sincere effort to reduce terrorism, and many doubt that Arabs were responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Just 40% of Muslim Americans say groups of Arabs carried out those attacks.

Zackly. 1/3 openly say it, and the rest are officer material.

Does that mean they think it’s justified for all religions to kill or only iSLIME vermin?

There's a sufficiently large minority that UK (and others) should seriously question whether Moslems can ever be allowed to visit for more than a few weeks.

Obviously none should be allowed to become citizens or permanent residents ~ it's the Sharia law thing ~ hasn't been changed in a thousand years, is hopelessly out of date, and is not only barbaric, it's the personification of ignorance and superstition. People who advocate imposition of Sharia law, or who are closely affiliated with a community that has a substantial majority who do cannot be trusted to live in your community as peaceful people.
