To put it into perspective, that's nearly 800,000 UK domiciled Muslims whose loyalties lie more with Islamic Fundamentalist terrorists than they do with the Western democracy which welcomed them (or their parents) in and which freedoms they are enjoying.
It all kind of destroys all the erratic, irrational arguments against my posts for a start. Nuff said.

Well in the interests of clarity the statement was "I have some sympathy for the motives behind the Charlie Hebdo attack" and 27% agreed out of a sample size of 1,000. That is different to agreeing with the attack and those 1,000 are not necessarily representative. Yes it is still worrying, but no one has said that all Muslims are anti-terrorist as you said above, that is self-evidently wrong.
That poll also found that 95% of those asked felt a loyalty to Britain. Do you not think that is welcome?
