Hundreds of thousands of Muslims have thought about leaving Britain after the London bombings, according to a new Guardian/ICM poll.

The figure illustrates how widespread fears are of an anti-Muslim backlash following the July 7 bombings which were carried out by British born suicide bombers.

The poll also shows that tens of thousands of Muslims have suffered from increased Islamophobia, with one in five saying they or a family member have faced abuse or hostility since the attacks.

I hope they don't come here to America!

[NY Attitude]

I'd bet that the Britons are happy.

[dervish]

Bye bye. See ya.

[TAquinas]

Allelujah!

This ought to make it much easier for the remaining 1/3 to leave too eventually.

[numberonepal]

Bye bye. See ya.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[SlowBoat407]

They'd rather leave than make an effort to stop further terror.

Freakin' cowards.

It's not Islamophobia. It's Islamocontemptus.
As for ' thinking' of leaving Great Britain. God, let it be so! Nothing like the trash taking itself out.
Don't THINK, Abdul- pack up the slave-wife, the future kid-bombs and the camel and head back to the desert and the 7th century.
Oh- and call your relatives and friends in the US and try to get a package deal for ALL of you!

Don't let the door hit you...

They will probably do the same thing the American leftists do when they say they will leave the US...

stay right where they are!

[M. Espinola]

"I hope they don't come here to America!"

Most likely they be will be accepted with open arms in Canada and Mexico, then try sneaking in.

If I were are Brit, I would say to Muslims: You are welcome to stay only if you get you crazies in ranks under control. If you are unable/unwilling to do this, it's best that you leave.

If anti-jihad Muslims were marching by the millions in
protest (against jihad), sentiment toward them would be
completely different.

Just where do the "silent majority" of them stand on jihad?
The presumption is that they acquiesce, and that may well
be a correct conclusion.

Meanwhile, troops, continue the statistical profiling.

[26lemoncharlie]

The Brits should hold a huge celebration!

Quick, take advantage of this situation and offer first class airfare to Pakistan, Baluchistan, whatever-stan...... who we kiddinng? No Muslim wants to go back to their own Muslim hellholes countries.
