Nicole....thank you for a better quality contribution to this thread. I heard parts of the same poll on TV and also found it distressing, especially if some of those polled were second or third generation British citizens. I question, however, the last sentence of your post. Professional pollsters typically present data, not commentary or opinions such as 'hardcore islamists who are unconcerned by trifles like freedom of speech.' That sentence is inflammatory, it's propaganda, and it serves to undermine the validity of the data presented. In other words, it makes me suspicious as to the intent of the pollster and how the questions of the poll were worded. You can write the questions of the poll in such a way as to support a personal agenda.

Hm. Do British Christians and British Jews consider themselves British first or Christian first? I wonder what that means exactly. What is hard-core Islamist? Does that mean very conservative, very religious or out and about with guns? So 10% are out planning things? How many people is that exactly? If that's the case, why aren't there an overwhelming large number of these types of plots? What is hard-core Jewish? What is hard-core Christian? All three religions, from the same source, are looking very unattractive these days. Apparently no one has learned anything from the Holocaust. Labeling people, not for what they do, but for who they are or what they think is back in vogue. It must be a frightening thing being a Muslim in Britain these days. For shame.
