BBC on tilannut ComRes yhtiöltä kyselyn Britannian muslimien mielipiteistä. Kyselyn mukaan enmmistö muslimeista vaikuttaisi omaavan kohtuulliset mielipiteet, mutta tietyissä kysymyksissä jopa melkein joka toinen näyttäisi omaavan äärimielipiteitä. Kysely tehtiin 25. helmikuuta:
- More than two in five (46%) feel that being a Muslim in Britain is difficult due to prejudice against Islam.
- Half (49%) believe Muslim clerics preaching that violence against the west can be justified are out of touch with mainstream Muslim opinion, while 45% disagree.
- Almost all Muslims living in Britain feel a loyalty to the country (95%). Just 6% say they feel a disloyalty.
- Nine in ten (93%) British Muslims believe that Muslims in Britain should always obey British laws.
- One in four (27%) British Muslims say they have some sympathy for the motives behind the attacks on Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
- However, two thirds (68%) say acts of violence against those who publish images of the Prophet can never be justified while a quarter (24%) disagree.
- Muslim women are more likely than men to feel unsafe in Britain.
- One in nine (11%) British Muslims feel sympathetic towards people who want to fight against western interests while 85% do not.
