    Oh Dear: 80,000 UK Muslims Say Koran Justifies Suicide Attacks

    There are 1.6m muslims in the UK. An opinion poll carried out for Sky News says that 5% (80,000) believe that the Koran justifies the London attacks and that 2% (32,000) agreed with what the suicide bombers did.

    No doubt as with IRA "supporters", they would pretty quickly change their tune if it's someone they know who's killed (e.g. the McCartney sisters), but nonetheless, a fine opportunity to discuss, or abuse Chico and/or Franco, whatever...

    Am sure Rupert Murdoch's Sky News went around interviewing 80,000 muslims in the UK.

      "Communicate Research interviewed 462 UK-based Muslims by phone, most before Thursday's attacks."

      462 is not a very large sample, and there's no mention of age, sex, or geographic spread.
      The vegetarian option.

        The fact still remains though that for a so called religion of peace an aweful lot of its members are detonating themselves around the world.

          Maybe last Thursday's four would-be sucide bombers just happened to be part of the random survey?

            The Egyptians are looking for a group of Pakistani suspects after Fridays bombing.

            So, are the bombers Muslims or Pakistanis?

              Might I advise reading the Koran oneself
              Suicide is a sin under Islam.
              HOWEVER. Giving ones life in the name of Allah is blessed.
              Bit of a mixed message there.

              Islam is a peaceful religion on condition that you are a Muslim, your particular group (Christian, Jew, Western alliance) is no threat to Muslims, or that the Muslim minority is not strong enough to inflict its law on you.
              Otherwise Islam says you must be put to death or at least fought to the last man standing.
              I am not qualified to give the above advice!

              Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                Probably both.
