One in 11 British Muslims backs suicide bombers, says Brown aide

.
Just checking for further news items on the Dispatches Britain under Attack program I came across an article about it in the Daily Mail - One in 11 British Muslims backs suicide bombers, says Brown aide.

Mr Rafiq, an adviser to the Government's preventing extremism taskforce, said: "A percentage of people actually agree and support proactively the people that are deciding to blow themselves up.

"It varies, it can be 7 per cent, 5 per cent, 9 per cent."

With 1.6million Muslims living in the UK, nine per cent is the equivalent of 144,000 people supporting terrorism.

I am busy myself today but note that the comments section for that article is still open.
