"Astonishing" two in three British Muslims would NOT give police terror tip-offs
Express-UK ^ | April 11, 2016 | Laura Mowat

Two thirds of British Muslims would not inform the police if they thought that somebody close to them had become involved with terrorist sympathisers, according to a poll.

This alarming revelation suggests that more than 100,000 British Muslims could sympathise with suicide bombers and people who commit terrorist acts.

The investigation is further proof that the Government's counter-terrorism programme, Prevent, is not providing intelligence to the police from Muslim groups.

Former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Trevor Phillips, described this revelation as "astonishing" and "troubling".

The survey also discovered that more than half of Muslims think that homosexuality should be illegal in Britain and 23 per cent of Muslims want Sharia to replace British law in certain parts of the country.

This is only “astonishing” to people with their head up their ass.

What is more astonishing is that the article implies that there are only 150,000 Muslims in GB.

In a country where Mohammed and its spelling variations is the top male child name.

The third that said the would were lying as directed by the Quran!

Agree. It is “troubling” and “frightening”, but shouldn’t be “astonishing” to anyone who knows anything about Islam.

Absolutely! I doubt they are shocked at all. It’s been the plan all along and coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Perhaps this helps to prove the saying that I’ve seen here on FR many times: Radical islamists want to kill us, moderate islamists want the radical islmaists to kill us.

These were the muslims who told the truth. I wonder how many lied?

Well that sort of blows the whole lid off the myth that most Muslims are peaceful.

Not astonishing. Obvious to anyone with a brain. The beard and burka crowd hates normal people.

The thing is that the majority of those who say this come from the UK itself — second or third generation Mirpuri Pakistanis or Bangladeshis or converts (but generally born there) — they are natural-born citizens of the UK, probably even grandchildren of UK citizens...

This assumes the other third is telling the truth.

I was thinking that 85 per cent are sympathizers, and of the remaining 15 per cent a minority would turn in their islamist brethren.
