These polls are of only limited value, as people generally tell pollsters what they want to hear. In light of that, the fact that 27% of Muslims in Britain openly acknowledged sympathy for the Charlie Hebdo jihad attacks is remarkable — but not surprising in light of the fact that we saw huge numbers of Muslims demonstrating against the cartoons worldwide, but nary a single Muslim demonstration in favor of the freedom of speech and against the Islamic death penalty for blasphemy.
“Most British Muslims ‘oppose Muhammad cartoons reprisals,'” BBC, February 25, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
The majority of British Muslims oppose violence against people who publish images depicting the Prophet Muhammad, a poll for the BBC suggests.
The survey also indicates most have no sympathy with those who want to fight against Western interests.
But 27% of the 1,000 Muslims polled by ComRes said they had some sympathy for the motives behind the Paris attacks.
Almost 80% said they had found it deeply offensive when images depicting the Prophet were published.

Asked if acts of violence against those who publish images of the Prophet Muhammad can “never be justified”, 68% agreed that such violence was never justifiable.But 24% disagreed with the statement, while the rest replied “don’t know” or refused to answer.
The poll, carried out between 26 January and 20 February, suggests 32% of British Muslims were not surprised by January’s attacks on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine, which published depictions of the Prophet, and a kosher supermarket in Paris.
The poll also suggests that almost half of British Muslims believe they face discrimination because of their faith and that Britain is becoming less tolerant, while the same percentage feel prejudice against Islam makes it difficult being a Muslim in the UK….


Angemon says
Bollocks.
cheekturner says
What makes it difficult being a muslim, anywhere, is Islam!
P.S. Most muslims don’t have any………ref Boko Harem bearded women! LOL 1

It is all our fault, we should paying jizia to this master ideology of pussies.

I watched a part of the MBBC broadcast in which they had statements from various people concerning the result of this poll and I am sure one of them was a known troublemaker who had featured in a couple of documentaries spewing his hatred of Britain and the Police and indicating his desire to see Shariah fully implemented. If it is the same guy I think it is then this just furthers the evidence that the MBBC is outrightly biased in favour of Islam and makes the results of this poll seriously dubious, if not concocted!
Any one else recognise the bearded wonder?

marc says
even the most self proclaimed moderate muslims i have asked, say, “they did a bad thing killing those cartoonists, but…” there is always a “but” that turns the victims into the aggressors, and the savages into the victims.
cheekturner says
As one of the witless muslims interviewed explained when the interviewer suggested the cartoons were only a bit of fun, ..”no it’s not……no it’s not. look it’s ok to have a bit of fun but (there it is, the “but”) not at a prophet, our prophet”. (Note this is not verbatim….simply my overview.)
Yeah we love Britain…BUT……..! Maybe they should go elsewhere to love…with no BUTS.

Kenny says
No BUTS for Muslims, are you kidding? How else would they have sex? Oh sorry, I thought you meant BUTTS!
This survey was conducted by the BBC, let’s just bear that in mind. That’s the same BBC who edited out Rigby’ s killers quotes from the Qu’ran when filmed after killing him. The same BBC who, when covering an Islamic atrocity, when a Muslim is screaming something like “death to Jews and Christians, blessed be Muhammed and I wish to die an Islamic martyr”, are likely to announce that “the motive for the attack remains unclear”.
The BBC used to stand for something as the one true worldwide broadcaster who could be relied upon for honesty and objectivity. Alas, no more. Lord Reith is probably spinning in his grave and I, as a British licence fee payer to this pro Mecca outfit, am disgusted by them.
PS Channel 4 news are even worse!
Pugnacious Pam says
“I, as a British licence fee payer to this pro Mecca outfit”
Stop paying the licence fee then you won’t be paying these traitors. It’s perfectly legal as long as you don’t watch programmes as they are being broadcast. You do not need a licence for on demand services. We stopped paying three years ago and nothing whatsoever has happened other than that we have saved about £450.
As you say Al Beeb can no longer be trusted, which is also true of all the other mainstream media. They whitewash Islam, bury inconvenient stories, and report a highly biased account of others which bears little resemblance to the truth. By failing to report on the criminal activities of islamic rape gangs they are directly responsible for putting thousands of young girls at risk, in blatant contravention of their charter as a public service broadcaster. You would therefore be perfectly justified to cease funding them.
KrazyKafir says
And I wonder what percentage of the muslims in the poll were sophisticated enough to lie about their true feelings?
cheekturner says
At a guess I’d say oooooh! roughly 99.99%+
KrazyKafir says
LOL
Neil Jennison says
As an Englishman living in England I would like a pollster to ask me what I think about the idea of inviting immigrants from a culture that believes my compatriots and I are second class citizens at best and “the worst of created beings”. A culture that wishes to take over my own and supplant it with medieval barbarism.
Kenny says
Agreed, but do you think that’s likely to happen as the pollsters would probably avoid indigenous people like you and I, because we’re just not cool.
Ephesian says
Well said,Neil,well said.Also,I’d like a voice about halal meat being foisted on me,and why Teflon Tony Blair is not up for treason.
Michael Copeland says
Polls can be quite interesting, but they make no difference to Islamic law.

lebel says
Simple, 27% of Muslims did not use taqqiya (for some unclear reason) while the rest did.
I love jwatch, everything here is clear and simple. Example:
random jwatcher: “Muslim do not condemn terrorism because they secretely support it”
random Muslim: “I condemn terrorism”
random jwatcher: “Taqqiya! you in fact support it”
random Muslim: “so if I condemn I support terrorism and if I don’t condemn I support terrorism?”
random jwatcher: “Yup, now stop trying to use kitman on me”
random Muslim: “what?”
random jwatcher: “taqqiya! don’t try to act like you don’t know what kitman is”
etc.
Mahmoud says
Spot on.
Angemon says
Can you point out where in JW that alleged conversation took place?
gravenimage says
More Muslim apologia from the egregious lebel.
ECAW says
Most people would say “Yikes, 27% support the Hebdo killers. That’s about 750,000 people I ahave to watch out for”. But the BBC says “The majority don’t”. So that’s okay then. No need to be concerned till it’s a majority who support them.
mortimer says
Sharia permits the murder of anyone who verbally opposes Islam, since they are at war with Islam:
“There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593
That allows anyone to commit murder of a cartoonist.
Is that ‘radical’ or just ‘normative Islam’?
Gary says
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” JAMES 1:19-20
I think it far to say that far more than 27% of these British Muslims would disagree with the above verse.
….They’d feel it was their RIGHT to defend Allah and “The Prophet Mohammad”
Apparently allah can’t stand on his own two feet.
JamesonRocks says
Only 27%? Really, that low?
Tommo says
The sample size of this poll of 1000 Muslims was too small to be of any value. Not only that but the poll was conducted by phone so that they had no idea whom they were talking to and couldn’t confirm the sex of the interviewee. Questions relating to the justification of Islamic violence against Jews, Christians and other minorities were of course omitted.
cheesecake says
27% is between 800000 and 1000000 Muslims who support violence for printing a magazine they object too if just 1% of these people decide to carry out similar attacks that’s 8 to 10000 protetial terrorists.
