"Two-thirds of Muslims consider leaving UK "
I considered running marathons and it made me feel faint. But reading on down to the very bottom of the article, we find
"A small rump, potentially running into thousands, told ICM of their support for the attacks on July 7 ..."
Orright, there are over 1,500,000 Moslems in Britain. I looked at the PDF of the raw data, and FIVE PERCENT of the respondents told a stranger that "further attacks by British suicide bombers in the U. K. are justified". Not to be expected (that was 33%), or understandable, but JUSTIFIED.
Now my math is that 5% of a million and a half actually does run into exactly seventy five thousand.
Without speculating on how many bomb cheerleaders lied to the poll, that gives a pretty good recruiting and support base. If I had a product to sell and I could identify a population with 5% who already wanted to buy it, I'd be rich. It's a marketer's dream.
Eliminate oldsters and children, and one or two out of every 20 british Moslems thinks MORE BOMBS ARE JUSTIFIED.
20 Moslems working in your office or living in your building? One of them thinks that more bombs are right and proper.
Surrender, Dorothy.
This is the Guardian story:
And the PDF of the raw data:

I love those polls. They interview 500 people and suddenly that represents the opinion of the whole of the country or in this case all of the Muslims in the country.
Utter nonsense and everyone knows it.
So, why do they exist? Because polls can always be useful when you need some stats to backup you own views.
