A SIGNIFICANT minority of British Muslims believe they are at war with the rest of society, the largest poll of Muslims in this country suggests.The Populus survey for The Times and ITV News has found that more than one in ten thinks that the men who carried out the London bombings of 7/7 should be regarded as “martyrs”. Sixteen per cent of British Muslims, equivalent to more than 150,000 adults, believe that while the attacks were wrong, the cause was right.
The politically correct Times tries very hard in the rest of the article to play up the majority of British Muslims who seems to be against terror. But they fail to add up the numbers of those who aren't.
16% believe that the cause was right but the attacks were wrong.
13% say the attacks were right.
So that adds up to 29% of British Muslims who openly support jihad for a worldwide Muslim 'ummah.
This is hardly a "tiny minority" - but Great Britain is still acting as if it is.

I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the 71% of apparently innocuous muslims might have been practising taqiyya.
However, the Muslim Council of Britain tells us we must stop focusing on the 7 July and 11 September attacks, because it does not help the Muslim community. See:

So what would help Muslims? Mass conversion to Christianity or Buddhism?
Or maybe we need to employ more social workers, community outreach consultants, interracial liason officers and multicultural awareness facilitators.
13% of British Muslims think that the four men who carried out the London Tube and bus bombings of July 7, 2005, should be regarded as “martyrs”
7% agree that suicide attacks on civilians in the UK can be justified in some circumstances, rising to 16 per cent for a military target
ONE OUT OF SIX MUSLIMS IN GB BELIEVES SUICIDE ATTACKS ON BRITISH MILITARY TARGETS IN BRITAIN IS OK
Four out of five British Muslims (79 per cent) believe that their community has experience increased hostility since last July’s bombings and three quarters (74 per cent) say that Muslims are viewed with suspicion by fellow citizens.
DUH, I wonder why?
"This is hardly a "tiny minority" - but Great Britain is still acting as if it is."
Probably because the full extent of the problem hasn't yet been revealed to the British public:
"At the same time there are some things that we would like to be able to tell the public but we can't for very good legal reasons. With terrorist cases taking anything up to two years or longer to come to court it means that the public are unaware of many important things that have happened in this country."
