The tiny minority of extremists

Young British Muslims are way more radical than their parents.

That's not surprising, of course. Most of the parents have actually lived under a partially implemented Sharia and are therefore a lot less enthusiastic about it. When I was a teenager the people of my parents' generation tended to dislike Stalin because they were born in Stalin's times and grew up right after his death; a fair lot (not the majority, I hope) of people my age thought Stalin was really cool.

Considering the subject matter and the numbers it is, however, a bit alarming.

13 percent of young (16-24) Muslims said they "admired" organisations such as Al Qaeda which are prepared to "fight the West".

36 per cent of 16-to-24-year-olds thought converting from Islam to another religion should be punished by death, compared with 19 per cent of 55s and over.

Here is the full report.
