Probably the same 18% who want sharia law implemented in Denmark. As one justice minister asserts, “We live in a rule of law and a democracy. In a society like ours it should have been all Muslims without exception who reject terrorism.”

Denmark: Muslim attitudes towards terrorism, terrorist groups and the Iraq/Afghanistan Wars
82% of Danish Muslims reject terrorism, 18% support the Islamic Jihad and 31% see the Iraq/Afghanistan wars as an attack against Islam.
For more study results see:
* Denmark: 55% of Muslims think criticizing religion should be forbidden, 64% support curtailing freedom of speech
* Denmark: Close to 90% of Muslims would vote for the Left
* Denmark: 60% don’t go to mosque, imams unrepresentative
* Denmark: 18% of Muslims want to see Sharia law implementedAn overwhelming majority of the Danish population clearly rejects terrorism. But in the group of Muslims the numbers are not as high as in the rest of the population.
When asking the non-Muslim part of the population, 97% says that terrorism is unacceptable.
But only 82% of Muslims clearly reject terrorism, a survey conducted by Capacent for DR Nyheder shows.
The rest of the Muslims do not directly reject terrorism. Six percent agree that terrorism can be acceptable.
Justice minister Brian Mikkelsen is concerned about the numbers.
“We live in a rule of law and a democracy. In a society like ours it should have been all Muslims without exception who reject terrorism.”
Terrorism researcher Jørgen Staun of the Danish Institute for International Studies is however not as concerned as the minister.
“It can be that those who were asked have a different understanding than what people here in th country have of what is terrorism. It can be that they don’t think it’s terrorism, but a war of liberation,” he told Radioavisen. [DR’s radio news]
A tenth of Muslims in the study had no position on the issue.
