London, 20 August (AKI) - Britons are more suspicious of Muslims than Americans and other Europeans, according to a poll for the Financial Times newspaper published on Monday. Just 59 percent believe it is possible to be a Muslim and a citizen of their country, a smaller proportion than in France, Germany, Spain, Italy or the US - the other countries surveyed.
The poll findings suggests terrorist plots against the UK, including the deadly 7 July 2005 London bombings, have hardened attitudes towards Muslims living in Britain.
Conducted by independent market research firm Harris Interactive between 1-13 August, the poll interviewed 6,398 adults divided equally between the six countries. The survey weighted the sample for factors such as age and gender but not for religious belief.
Compared with citizens of the other five nations, Britons were also the most likely to predict a "major terrorist attack" in their country over the next year (52 percent) and consider Muslims a national security threat (38 percent).
Two-thirds of French and majorities of Italians, Germans, and Americans believe Muslims are not a threat to national security, according to the poll results.
In Spain, only 32 percent predicted a big terrorist attack in the next 12 months, 30 percent in the US, and between 15-18 percent in France, Italy and Germany.

UK More Islamophobic Than US & EU
ADN Kronos reported on the growing Islamophobia in the UK:
Well the substance of the alledged poll doesn't seem to make any impact on the leading BRITISHSTAN's leading socialist 'news manufacturer' apparently...
ReplyDeleteMuslims in the UK are more radical than in the US, and they have carried out more recent attacks than in the US, therefore it is reasonable that Britons are more worried than us.
ReplyDeleteHow that translates into a negative is beyond anyone with good mental health.
Britain and Australia are the Canaries in the coal mine concerning the Islamification of the west that the Islamists and their LLL allies are trying to force on us.
ReplyDeleteThe Brits are not the kind to put up with the BS out of both the Islamists who have been forced upon them by the government nor the PC "bow down to your new Islamist overlords" shite out of their MSM/academia/government. The Brits, unlike the sheeple in Europe, have not forgotten how to fight for their freedoms. I think one more large jihadi attack or incident like this in the UK will be it for the Islamists and their allies in government and the MSM. The British people will have reached the "Popeye point" with the lot of them.
It will be nasty, it will be bloody and in the end you will see the end of Islam in Britain. It will be the end some other things in Britain, too. (I am leaving out the obvious ones like Red Ken hanging from a lamppost in Trafalgar Square and the virtual extinction of LLL political parties)
-The end of the BBC. The people are tired of funding them anyway and unless they do a wholesale sacking of staff there they will become a thing of the past.
-The possible end of the Anglican church. The Archbishop of Canterbury is a LLL nut. If he remains the Anglican church will be a thing of the past. The difference between this situation and the next is there are ways to remove him.
-A possible change in the succession line of the House of Windsor for which there is no mechanism for that I am aware of. Prince Charles is a loon who loves Islam and the people will not accept him. So if the monarchy is to survive a way must be found by them to bypass Charles. He won't abdicate in favor of his son-he saw first hand what happens to someone who does.
Oh wow! That Kriss Donald story is sad nahanni...
ReplyDeleteHopefully the Brits will act before another Donald type execution takes place...
Thanks for that link...
Did anyone poll the UK Muslims?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't their opinions on this matter be important?
It would be enlightening to compare results.
"Did anyone poll the UK Muslims?"_____The poll was of "adults", so some of those polled would be Muslims. You are asking for separate polls of Muslims and non-Muslims. Note that only about 1100 people were polled in each country, which is quite a small sample.
ReplyDeleteHere is the full poll, with bar charts.
