British Muslims identify with Britain far more than the general public and have more confidence in the country’s institutions, according to research published today.
The results of the survey, which showed that 77 per cent of British Muslims were loyal to Britain compared with 36 per cent of the general public, challenge a perception that the community is less patriotic than the country at large. It also recorded that the community had more confidence in British courts, elections, financial bodies and the media than the general public. The survey showed that more than eight out of ten thought that their fellow British Muslims were loyal to the country, but only 36 per cent of the general public did.
The report, by Gallup and the Coexist Foundation , a charity dedicated to promoting understanding between Jews, Christians and Muslims, re- ported that confidence in the military was the only area where British Muslims scored less than the general public. The authors said:
“Since 9/11 and the terrorist attacks in Madrid and London, mistrust towards European Muslims has become palpable. Significant segments of European societies openly express doubt that Muslim fellow nationals are loyal citizens.
“The general construct of this premise rests on an oversimplified and erroneous understanding of Islam and terrorism.”
There is no oversimplified or erroneous understanding of islam and terrorism. The death cult of Old Mo and his pagan god allah has been at war with non-muslims since it was made up by Old Mo. All muslims believe that the world should submit to allah. I think not.
