A new poll commissioned by the Times of London for the anniversary of the 7/7 bombings shows a significant minority of British Muslims are on the wrong side. (Hat tip: Allahpundit.)
* 13% of British Muslims think that the four men who carried out the London Tube and bus bombings of July 7, 2005, should be regarded as “martyrs”
* 7% agree that suicide attacks on civilians in the UK can be justified in some circumstances, rising to 16 per cent for a military target
* 16% of British Muslims say that while the attacks may have been wrong, the cause was right
* 2% would be proud if a family member decided to join al-Qaeda. Sixteen per cent would be “indifferent”
If Britain’s Muslim population is 1.6 million, this means more than 100,000 Muslims would applaud another attack like the 7/7 bombings. And how many more would have admitted to the same beliefs, if not for fear of being reported?
And get a load of this result:
Nearly half (49 per cent) of British Muslims think it is offensive that some non-Muslims feel anxious if they see someone they think is a Muslim on public transport carrying a backpack. However, 18 per cent say that they too feel anxious if they see someone who looks Muslim with a large bag or backpack.
For all the talk of “Islamophobia” bandied around by shills for radical Islam, it’s pretty clear from this and other similar polls that a much more serious problem, resulting in attacks and casualties around the world on a near-daily basis, is “Infidelophobia.”
