Many British Muslims Put Islam First

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 wonder how many people here put Christ first?

Christ never instructed us to go out and violently conquer the rest of the World and slay the unbelievers for him.

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

It's not unlike the africanized "killer bees" taking over the european honey bee colonies. The stronger more aggressive variant will overwhelm the weaker more docile.

Glen Beck addressed the religion first issue quite well. He said, he puts religion first too. But his religion tells him to obey the laws of the land. islam tells muslims that the law of the land is for infidels and that sharia law is the only real law. Thus, islam is a religion AND a political system.

Therefore: THE PROBLEM IS ISLAM.

No, we Brits are getting better information these days. So this is no surprise but it needs to be kept in the public memory.

Boy, was he wrong.

Muslims deny that Jesus is the Christ and Lord. Their mosque on the temple mount has an inscription around the top "Allah has no son"

That's because Allah is not God. Allah's son would be the Anti-Christ.

Don't they mean ALL MUSLIMS?

Although I am pretty hard on Islam, I don't believe all Muslims are necessarily in support of religious war. It is those who have moved away from the core beliefs of Islam who are likely not to sympathize with the terrorists. Turkey has Muslims who believe in secular government -- certainly not a core Islamic belief. In other parts of the world, Islam has mixed with Animist, Hindu or Buddhist beliefs. These Muslims are in as much or more danger from the Islamofacists as you or I. That said, perhaps 60% or more usually express "fundamentalist" beliefs and can be expected to actively support "radicalism". That is still a huge number of crazy people and Britain, with its Pakistani population, would seem to has more than its share.

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

I agree. I thought it would be much higher!

Don't worry Britian. Your royals are working hard on a solution to this matter.

By contrast, the U.K. embraced taxpayer-subsidized multiculturalism and has paid a very dear price, indeed. The result — cultural apartheid — has encouraged a significant number of Muslims to exhibit more loyalty to fellow Muslims outside of the U.K. than to their fellow Britons.

Fellow Britons? What a laugh. The dumb Infidel blames cultural apartheid for the problem; when it is caused by one of Islam's fundamentals.

Koran 5.51: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
