ALMOST a quarter of British Muslims say the 7/7 bombings can be justified because of the Government's support for the war on terror, according to an opinion poll.
And nearly half of those polled, or 45 per cent, believe the 9/11 attacks on New York were a conspiracy between the United States and Israel. The survey, for a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary to be screened tonight, found Muslims under 24 were twice as likely to justify the 7/7 attacks as those aged over 45. It found 24 per cent either agreed or tended to agree that the 7/7 bombings were justified, although 48 per cent said they "strongly disagreed".

A third of those questioned said they would rather live under Sharia law in the UK than British law.

The survey also reveals concerns among Muslims about Britain's moral standards, with 40 per cent saying it is a country of bad moral behaviour.

It is high time that the substantial community of Muslims in the UK that revels in the slaughter of innocents by their coreligionists be cordially invited to leave. Vacuous platitudes about the "religion of peace" are beyond farce now, and it is quite apparent that if extreme measures are not undertaken to respond to Islamic extremism, sooner or later these evil fanatics will get a result. They are not motivated by the war in Iraq or the activities of Israel, they are driven wholly by a gnawing hatred for the infidel. We are the infidel.

Why cannot Muslims integrate into the British Society?
Every other community is well integrated. The Indians, Chinese, Polish, Brazilians and countless others who have made Britian their home abide by the laws here, and are part of the society.
They dont demand special rights, or want their own special laws.
If Muslims do not want to integrade, they should leave the country.

Frank Slade @3:

The Muslims as a whole do not want to integrate into the British society, they want the British to integrate into their society. When the Muslims tried to drive out the Hindu population of Bradford one Hinud is reports as saying "it is a form of ethnic cleansing".

In 1980, the Islamic Council for Europe laid out it's strategy for Europe and the golden rule was "to never dilute your presence". They concentrate on specific key areas, become the majority in that area, and using our own system against us are able to subvert our country from within. The local community institutions eventually come to resemble Islamic buildings; they then get the education system in that area changed so that it reflects their Islamic ideals; the local shops will stock only those items permissable to Muslims; and they will eventually campaign the Government to have their own Shariah Law introduced in those communities.

And, using our own laws against us, anyone who speaks out about this "Islamisation" of Britain will be deemed racist or Islamophobic.

The Muslims behave in exactly the same way here in India. They want their own personal law, special subsidy to go on Haj (pilgrimage), reservations in schools universities jobs etc. But not one muslim country will look to the welfare of a non muslim minority. They even kill muslim minorities as Ahmedias in Pakistan and Kurds in Iraq. As for other religions no temple is allowed in Saudi Arabia and they demolish them even today like they did when they came here around 700AD. No wonder they think the blasts are justified. And these are only the ones with the nerve to say it in a survey.
