Many British Muslims Put Islam First
CBS News ^

NRO: Survey Shows Many Are More Loyal To Fellow Muslims Outside U.K.

The recent homegrown plot in Britain to blow up transatlantic flights will intensify the fear that the country's 1.6 million Muslims are rejecting political tolerance and free speech for a violent, radicalized version of Islam. There is a real concern that British Muslims do pose a threat to that country and its traditional values. So how prevalent are such radical views among British Muslims?

Some answers are provided by the most comprehensive survey to date of Muslim opinion in Britain. The results from NOP Research, broadcast by Channel 4-TV on August 7, are startling.

Forty-five percent say 9/11 was a conspiracy by the American and Israeli governments. This figure is more than twice as high as those who say it was not a conspiracy. Tragically, almost one in four British Muslims believe that last year's 7/7 attacks on London were justified because of British support for the U.S.-led war on terror.

I'm not surprised, but the British may be. They estimated only 1% of the muslim population was radicalized; man where they wrong!

45 percent believe the US and Israel did 9/11. That's just astounding.

Not to mention, my idea for a bumper sticker these days:

"BAN MUSLIMS ONBOARD

NOT GATORADE"

When the plurality of the voting population are muslims, kiss your freedom, liberty and the republic good-bye!

And this more than anything demonstrates why Muslims can never be trusted to live peacefully in Western society. The "law-abiding" folks who practice a peculiar but harmless religion at their local mosque could just as easily be plotting to blow up City Hall as singing hymns. And while that would be construed as mere paranoia in other circumstances, it has been borne out repeatedly as a pattern with Islam. They infiltrate, use the legal and moral protections of their adopted society to cloak their schemes, then explode forth in a shower of gore and mayhem, justifying their crimes by the failure of the natives to meet a foreign standard.

I recommend the book "Militant Islam Reaches America" by Daniel Pipes.

If you want to know what they're thinking and what they're planning, read this book. The book was already in the works before 9/11 - so the author has long been aware of the danger of militant Islam.

"Many Muslims"?

Don't they mean ALL MUSLIMS?

Interesting numbers when you consider that 98% of the wacko left in this country think that 9/11 was a conspiracy.

Anyone who is committed to their faith will put loyalty to God ahead of loyalty to state, it's just that in the Western World there isn't much conflict between those loyalties because of freedom of religion. Islam rejects freedom of religion and makes violent opposition an article of faith. Christians tend to die for their faith instead of kill for it when there are conflicting loyalties.

Not really. You will find that view prevalent amongst muslims no matter where you go in the World, including here in the U.S.

Far too many muslims are so single-mindedly obsessed with Israel and our support for them that common sense no longer applies to them or their views anymore.

Dunno. I like reading conspiracy theories for a hobby. It may be BS, but you pick up some interestin' historical tidbits sometimes...
