A new poll commissioned by HJS has found that only one in four British Muslims believe Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel on October 7. The poll also found a further series of shocking results, including:
• Almost half of British Muslims say Jews have too much power over UK government policy, with similar numbers thinking the same for US foreign policy.
• British Muslims are more likely to have a positive than a negative view of Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK.
• Nearly half of British Muslims would back the removal of an MP if they took a different stance on Israel/Palestine to them.
• 52% want to make it illegal to show a picture of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed.
• 32% of British Muslims favour the implementation of Sharia Law, and the same number the declaration of Islam as national religion.
• Extreme views were generally more likely to be found in the youngest age cohort of 18-34, among graduates of all ages (as opposed to non-graduates) and British born rather foreign born Muslims, suggesting British integration policy is failing and needs urgent revision.
