The latest ICM poll of British muslims makes even more disturbing reading than the survey out last week.
Although 90% of British muslims say they feel personally loyal to the UK, an alarmingly strong minority's definition of ‘the UK’ and ‘loyal’ does not seem to be civilised or modern:
· 40% want to see sharia law enforced in the UK. Unmodernised sharia law is barbaric and certainly illegal under existing law.
· 26% said Abu Hamza did not receive a fair trial. Wonder what kind of trial they are thinking of?
· 20% say they have sympathy with the London suicide bombers. These men butchered a diverse cross-section of Londoners and visitors including muslims.
· 7% are sufficiently extreme to say that western society is decadent and immoral and muslims should bring about its end if necessary by violent means.
Never mind incitement to murder or hatred, it is time to have a look at what the laws on treason say.

Wow. Scary stuff. I read figures like these and have to wonder how it is that so many Muslims don't seem to understand why non-Muslims have negative attitudes towards their religion. Clearly large numbers (though not necessarily the majority) of them have no respect for the Western countries in which they live. Obviously, they don't all feel this way, but numbers like these should be pushing the more moderate among them to take a good hard look at what has become of their religion.
Absolutely. This is the position that the more modern, integrated British muslims must now face. At one level, these people must take responsibility in their community(ies) to root out and expose those who are or intend to carry out illegal activities or support same. At another level, modern British muslims need to promote the movement to modernise islam the religion. A very hard and long mountain to climb up - and they must go to it, it won't come to them - especially as this is in the fundamentally opposite direction that islam is currently headed down.
