As the British police announce that they will request permission from the Muslim community before launching anti-terror raids, a new poll reveals that one in 10 British Muslims would not inform police about an impending attack. (Hat tip: bweep.)
Almost one in 10 British Muslims would not inform police if they suspected that someone of the same faith was involved in a terror attack, a poll suggested.
The ICM poll for the News of the World found 9% of the 502 questioned would not tell police if they had such suspicions about a fellow Muslim.
