BBC News - Most British Muslims 'oppose Muhammad cartoons reprisals'

So the vast majority think it was wrong. Good news.

It can only be good news if 100% think it's wrong 1/3 of all mozzies is quite a big pool of potential murderers

That's an impressive jump in logic, they can understand why someone else did it so they are going to do something similar.

I'm far far more worried about the other 95% of the population.

100% is unrealistic but for a full 20%+ to be in favour is pretty scary. I would've assumed a far smaller minority.

Note it says, 'some sympathy', not that they are in favour of it.

Given Muslims believe in an imaginary God and that all infidels should be killed, it's not that unexpected. The brainwashing of religion can only lead to such views.

Some sympathy means they are in favour. If they would have asked "fully support" in the questionnaire all respondents would have lied, as it would put them clearly on the police/intelligence services radar
