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.

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.

It is a lie and mere propaganda that that there is a Muslim "silent majority" opposed to Islamist terrorism, to wit:

"Indeed, what we call Islamic radicals are in fact Islamic traditionalists; it is the so-called moderates ... who are the radicals and innovators. The terrorists are simply fulfilling the traditional and orthodox command of their religion."

About Time, thay haven't brought anything to better the mankind anyways.
Only mayhem, destruction and pain.
Their religion ought be ostracized and banished from the face of the Earth!

wow...unintended consequences!

Indeed, those eight bullets may have saved thousands of lives by instilling fear in those remaining Islamofacists.

We should try the same tactics here. Get them out of our country and close the damn borders, Mr. Bush.

[hineybona]

it wont happen ..They will stay put just like the Dems who promised to leave if Bush won.England is half a Moslem state already.They feel at home there now.With the BBC TOTALLY on their side they have little to worry about.

I was just about to post what you did! "Please don't come here!"

[Smarti Pants]

You know, that's what gets me crazy.

"No Muslim wants to go back to their own Muslim hellholes countries."

If they don't want to go backwhy are they so bent on re-creating that hell here?

...
will this be like all the Baldwin bluffado*, promising us he'd move to Europe if a Republican were elected president?

This collective Muslim "urge to leave" the UK (and other terror targets) may be a side effect that al Qaeda types are hoping to instill. I can't think of a downside.

They're all going to France.

It's a convergence thing (kinda like Iraq)...

I just had a nice warm thought of where they might land:

France.

Islamophobia

• 1. A term once applied to those in fear of a murderous cult called Islam. No longer used since fear of Islam has been substantiated as valid and a normal response to the endless murder and lies associated with Moslems.
• 2. An irrational fear of the Islamic religion
• 3. An irrational fear of Moslems, the practitioners of Islam.

Hopefully we can get the muslims that are here to leave soon. It will help our psycological wellbeing. We should only take people in that want to become Americans. Not people who want to be parasites on the system and then use that same system to kill our people.

If an attack happened again, I would not be against internment for all of those folks.
