A poll on Muslim attitudes in UK

Here are details on the latest Populus poll on the Muslim attitudes in UK. (Via Times Online and Jihad Watch. The poll interviwed 500 British Muslims between December 9 and December 19, 2005.

Some highlights:

17% agree with Omar Bakri Mohammed and 13% with Abu Hamza Al-Masri. Among the 18-24-year-olds, the numbers are accordingly 28% and 27%. (This should not be interpreted as that more than half of young Muslims agree with these losers. More likely these are the same 27-28%. Still, 28% is a lot.) Strangely enough, women like Omar Bakri Mohammed a lot more than men: 21% vs. 12%.

37% think that the Jewish community in Britain is a legitimate target as part of the ongoing struggle for justice in the Middle East. Ugh.

52% think that Israel has a right to exist, 30% don't.

7%, and 12% of 18-24-year-olds, believe that suicide bombings in UK could be justified.
