I wish to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to this discussion. It is interesting to note that when the Muslim, Human Rights lawyer for Scotland, Aamer Anwar, urged the disparate Muslim sects within the UK to join together to fight extremism in relation to the Asad Shah murder, he got death threats and promptly shut up. How very unusual… on both counts.

An absolute monstrosity. There are swathes of the Muslim community that are complicit in facilitating the hatred that led to this murder.

[…] imagine, it all went a bit quiet from there. This is a pattern that also followed the murders of Asad Shah and Abdul Hadi Arwani – also killed at the hands of their fellow religionists. It seems there is […]

Once again the narrative is that the vast majority of muslims are peaceful and law abiding and it is a true narrative but irrelevant and here is a video explaining why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnOF7y-KuHE

Here is a summary of the latest, and probably best quality, poll of British Muslims available, published earlier this year: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0sBlgygEXRqaWhzOWhnWkxzVWs/view?usp=sharing

7% support principle of Caliphate, while 67% oppose.
24% say use of violence to protect religion is ok, while 57% oppose (compared to 80% of control group who oppose)

So there’s a worrying minority, but it is a minority. Essential to avoid generalising – huge diversity. Really worth talking to some real Muslim Brits.

A 2007 poll found that 36 percent of young British Muslims thought that apostates should be killed. A 2008 YouGov poll found that a third of Muslim students claimed that killing for religion can be justified, while 33 percent expressed a desire to see the return of a worldwide theocratic Caliphate.

Not surprising,the importing of Muslims and their lack of self restraint and bending backwards to accommodate their sensitivities has led to this. A visit to Kings’ College London anytime during the past decade shows this was a long time coming.

“We found that laws restricting apostasy and blasphemy are most common in the Middle East and North Africa, where 18 of the region’s 20 countries (90%) criminalize blasphemy and 14 (70%) criminalize apostasy. While apostasy laws exist in only two other regions of the world – Asia-Pacific and sub-Saharan Africa – blasphemy laws can be found in all regions, including Europe (in 16% of countries) and the Americas (29%).”
