LONDON (AFP) - More than one in 10 British Muslims think the perpetrators of the London bombings last year should be regarded as martyrs, according to an opinion poll.

Some 1,131 Muslim adults were questioned by phone and online in the first half of June by the Populus organisation for The Times and ITV television, in what the newspaper called the biggest-ever pulse-taking of the nation's 1.6 million strong Muslim community.
Fifty-six percent thought Prime Minister Tony Blair's government was not doing enough to combat extremism in the Muslim community, while 65 percent thought the Muslim community needed to do more to integrate itself into "mainstream British culture".
Seventy-nine percent said there were no circumstances that would justify suicide bombings in Britain against military targets, and 78 percent said they would be angry to learn that a close family member had joined Al-Qaeda.
Eighty-seven percent disagreed when asked if the four British Muslims who carried out the July 7, 2005 attacks on three London subway trains and a double-decker bus, killing themselves and 52 others and injuring more than 700, "should be considered martyrs".
But The Times said the 13 percent who felt that they should be seen as martyrs represented a "significant minority", as did the 16 percent who believed that, while the attacks were wrong, the cause was right.
"These results show that there are people within the Muslim communities who are so far away from the mainstream of society, as well as the mainstream of British Muslims, that they think that they are at war with the rest of the community," it quoted Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality, as saying.

Most Afghans think OBL is a hero. Most Egyptians think that 9/11 was caused by an Isreali conspiracy.

9/11 wasn't an isralli conspiracy, it was a US conspiracy.
It let them ram through the patriot act, and do whatever they wanted to in the rest of the world.
But the real concern is no longer mere countrys.
Multinational conglomerate corporations are takeing over.

Hey don't forget the Tsunami was caused by Israli underground nuke testing.

This just in, does it surprise anyone that even muslims in the free thinking world think the way they do?
