YouGov has done a survey for Daily Telegraph on the attitudes of British Moslems after the terrorist attacks. They interviewed 526 Moslem adults across the UK and weighted the data to reflect the composition of Britain's Moslem population by gender, age and country of birth.
For the most part the poll needs no comment. The only surprising item was "Western society is decadent and immoral and Muslims should seek to bring it to an end, but only by non-violent means," which was the opinion of 32% of the people interviewed (1% thought that Western society is decadent and immoral and Muslims should seek to bring it to an end, if necessary by violence). What the hell are those people doing living in the Western society? Hey, I used to live in a sociely that I considered to be a shithole and to which I felt no loyalty at all. You know what? I moved. And Britain is a whole lot easier to move away from than Soviet Union used to be in my time. So what exactly is preventing the Western-society-haters from moving to such moral and wholesome places as Pakistan, Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia? I bet a lot of them even have the necessary citizenships and language skills.
This is not just about Moslems. The hardline Communists are fewer in number nowadays, but we don't see them moving to North Korea en masse. I have never even seen a single one of them move to the Soviet Union while it was still there.
