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?

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.
