And those are just the ones fool enough to admit to the pollster what they were thinking. Tiny Minority of Extremists Update: "Poll shows voters believe press is right not to publish cartoons," from the TimesOnline, with thanks to Interested:
Nearly two fifths (37 per cent) believe that the Jewish community in Britain is a legitimate target “as part of the ongoing struggle for justice in the Middle East”. Moreover, only 52 per cent think that the state of Israel has the right to exist, with 30 per cent disagreeing, a big minority. One in six of all Muslims questioned thinks suicide bombings can sometimes be justified in Israel, though many fewer (7 per cent) say the same about Britain. This is broadly comparable to the number justifying suicide attacks in ICM and YouGov polls of British Muslims after the July 7 attacks.
We may need to take another look at the "perhaps 10% of muslims are radical" school of thought.
Jihadwatch PING.
Finally, although the Muslims nowadays are in a position of weakness and humiliation – because they have turned away from their religion – and are unable to fight the Jews, take back their stolen lands and impose the rule of Islamic sharee’ah in Palestine, this does not mean that this will always be the case until the end of the world. Things have to change, and one of the indications of this is the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who informed us of some things that are to happen in the future. He was supported by Revelation from his Lord; he did not speak of his own whims and desires, but of that which was revealed to him. He said:Other British and Pakistani based muslims clarift the true meaning of JIHAD:“You will fight the Jews and will prevail over them, so that a rock will say, ‘O Muslim! There is Jew behind me, kill him!’” (Reported by Muslim, 2921; al-Bukhaari, 2926).
According to a report narrated by Muslim from Abu Hurayrah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Hour [the Day of Judgement] will not begin until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. A Jew will hide behind a rock or a tree, and the rock or tree will say, ‘O Muslim, O slave of Allaah! There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!’ – except for the gharqad (box thorn), for it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (Reported by Muslim, 2922).
...the importance, reward and requirement for the Muslims to perform Jihaad Fi Sabeel Lillah i.e. physical struggle:...the saying and actions of Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) show that Jihaad definitely is to start (offensive) fighting the kuffar to make the Words of Allah the highest and to propagate (da’wa) the call of Islam. Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:
"I have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that, ‘there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger’ and they establish the prayer and the zakat. And if they do this, then from me is protected their blood and their wealth except by the right granted by Allah."As for his (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) actions, they are full of actions that show Jihaad is to start the fighting. So when he went out to Badr to take the caravan belonging to the Quraysh, this was going out to fight, this is offensive – as Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) initiated the action before the Quraysh. Likewise, when Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) invaded Hawazin in the battle of Hunayn, when he (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) seiged Ta’if and the battle of Mutah to fight the Romans and the Battle of Tabuk – all of these are evidences to show that Jihaad is to start fighting kuffar (offensive). This should clarify the erroneous view that in origin Jihaad is defensive...
Surprised it's so high.
I would figure the older the Mohammedan, the more "sympathy" they have towards Israel.
It's their children which are the radical ones.
ROP, indeed.
More from the "Religion of Peace".
CNN/NYT's where are you?
Red6
That only represents the 2/5th who are willing to admit it.
These people are an unassimilable fifth column of international fanatics who only dissent among each other on the means of converting us to their 8th century "paradises".
The "7 per cent" solution! How many Jihadists does this make?
And those are just the ones fool enough to admit to the pollster what they were thinking.
Hee haw!!! This is shaping up to be a nice day.
And what if 37% of the British public thought Muslims were a legitimate target?
It's important this news is available - but wearily i have to say, I'm not at all surprised.
kind regards
Thanks for the ping. Not surprised.
You can see the writing on the wall. Jews will be offered up as the solution to the muslim pyscho problem. (as they already have been in Israel)
How many Jews believe Muslims are a legit target?............
Exactly! We've got to forget this "few" crap! The Cartoon killings should show EVERYBODY what a danger ALL MUSLIMS are! These appeasers are so clueless! If the "Arab Street" can get enraged over some stupid cartoons, then what in hell they gonna do when the "few" get their hands on a A-Bomb?............
110%. Gotta throw in the Christian Jews, too.........
"We may need to take another look at the "perhaps 10% of muslims are radical" school of thought."
My thoughts exactly. The oft' repeated claim that we're dealing with an extremely small group of fanatics which have hijacked an otherwise peaceful religion becomes harder to defend by the day.
At what point will we wakeup and admit the obvious?
And it's my understanding that the British Muzzies are among the most educated and least "volatile" of all the Muzzies in Europe. Doesn't look good for the voices calling for assimilation.
Sorry if I left anyone out.
