Six months after Hamas massacred around 1,200 people from Israel and took hundreds more hostage, the largest survey of Muslims living in Britain has revealed that the minority group It turned out that they were significantly out of step with each other.
The poll, commissioned by the Henry Jackson Society, an anti-extremism think tank, found that 46 per cent of British Muslims are sympathetic to Hamas, which is classified as a terrorist organization by the British and US governments.
Furthermore, only 24 per cent of British Muslims said they believed Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel on October 7, compared to 62 per cent of the general British public. Conversely, 39% of British Muslims said they did not believe Hamas had committed atrocities, and 37% said they did not know.

Just last month, the British Prime Minister said: Rishi Sunak has declared in a speech to the nation that the “far right” and Islamic extremists are trying to destroy Britain’s democracy.
In response to Henry Jackson’s report, a government spokesperson said: “We recently launched a series of measures to promote social cohesion and counter religious hatred. Our plan will tackle division in our communities and ensure democratic freedoms are protected across the country. It will be.”
Further demonstrating how out of step the Muslim community is with the rest of British society, the survey found that 46% of British Muslims believe Jews have too much influence over the British government. It was also found that 16% of the population is Jewish. whole.
52% said they think it should be illegal to show pictures of Islam’s prophet Muhammad. Meanwhile, almost a third (32%) of British Muslims said they wanted Sharia law to be imposed in the UK.
