Muslims will not waver over veils

Britain's Muslim community overwhelmingly believes that women should be allowed to wear the veil, despite fears that it presents a barrier to integration, a study has found.

   
Muslims believe women should be free to wear veils

 
Almost nine in 10 Muslims think that any government moves to ban the veil would hurt social cohesion.

Schools already have the power to ask pupils to remove the niqab - which covers the entire face apart from a slit for the eyes - to improve safety, security and learning.

There have been calls for a wider debate on whether it is appropriate for the full veil to be worn in public at all. But a Gallup Poll to be published this week found most Muslims firm in the belief that Islamic women should be free to wear it.

While 55 per cent of all those polled thought that removing the veil was vital for integration, only 13 per cent of Muslims agreed.

Instead, they thought that the Government needed to change its economic and political policies toward Islamic countries and show greater respect to Islam.

The poll found that the Muslim community was largely willing to see fuller integration and trusted major British institutions more than the typical member of the public did.

Only one in four Muslims wanted to live in a neighbourhood comprised solely of people who shared their religious or ethnic backgrounds. They also claimed a stronger sense of identifying with Britain compared with the general public and had more confidence in the police and the judicial system.

Nearly three in four said they were loyal to the UK and 82 per cent said they were respectful of other religions.

Yes, this is interesting.

Muslims appear to be quite ready to accept the authoritarian state. Could this be another reason why they are seemingly so favoured by the left?

They should be sent back to where they came from.

THEN THE EVIL MUSLIMS WOULD PLOT AGAINST THE WEST.  HAVING SAID THAT, HAVING THEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS NO BETTER. THEY PLOT ANYWAY.

The thing about these polls is... They don't mean a thing, muslims can and will lie in service of Islam as they are commanded to do so, therefore anything they say means nothing.

[Nic Brookes]

Unless they are issuing threats

Yes, indeed. You cannot believe the stats. Also, the stats could have been collected from a less-than-random section of the muslim population, such as schoolteachers, or retired shop-owners, rather than the fresh batch (heh, sounds like 'Gremlins') of jihadis.

For most Muslims sadly the host country is nothing but  a meal ticket. They have no intention of ever fitting in or becoming part of its society. They feel its their duty to get whatever they can by any means from it and displace as many of the infidels as they can. With rare exception even the best of Muslims have no regard  for non Muslims. They are like the family cat they come around to see what they can get from us however if they were big and powerful enough they would eat us alive.

Wow!! He looks a little like Yassar Arafat.

For some reason I find that cat picture disturbing, and the resemblance to Yasir Arrafat is uncanny.
