Wow - Check Out These Poll Results

If you're listening to your average media outlet this week, you may hear some of the results of this poll of British Muslims, done by ICM research, and published in The Guardian. No doubt you'll hear such bleak reports as:

58% of those surveyed blame Tony Blair's decision to go to Iraq as a factor in the bombings in London....

63% put blame on non-Muslims for racist / Islamophobic behavior...

and 63% are considering leaving Britain, fearing a backlash.

But what you likely won't hear is downright inspiring:

81% feel terrorist attacks in Britain are unjustified.
57% blame Muslim Imams / leaders for failing to root out extremists.
52% blame the Muslim community for not doing enought to root out extremists.

and, a remarkable statistic in the wake of all the liberal "blame everybody but" yakking...

85% blame the bombers themselves.

The poll goes on to report that 93% of those polled say that using violence to achieve a political end is unacceptable, as well as some other good news.

They're truly amazing numbers. The media will have you believe that all Muslims hate America and Britain, that all Muslims blame the US and UK for terrorism. Even accounting for the usual factors that affect polls, these are stunning.

Go check it out for yourself.
