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?

Of course I do think that it's welcome that 95% of those questioned felt a loyalty to Britain, I wish it was 100%.
Again, I can only take surveys at face value and not try to second guess how truly representative of the UK Muslim population those surveyed really were, or to what degree their self-confessed sympathy for the motives behind the Paris murders were.
My own true and extensive personal experience is that the survey at face value actually reflects the attitudes to IS of a lot of domiciled UK Muslims.
Finally, a lot of posts on here
have implied and/or insinuated that all UK Muslims are anti-terrorist, and I could search and reproduce such posts if I had to but I see no reason to.
