The poll, which asked in Arabic “Do you support the organising victories of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)?” has attracted almost 60,000 votes.
Shockingly, 81.3 per cent – or 61,145 people – voted yes to the question, in support of the Islamic extremists.
Pro-ISIS Twitter accounts are thought to be promoting the poll and asking followers to vote in support of the extremist group.
Online polls are useful, am I right?
American Muslims are even more likely than Muslims in other countries to firmly reject violence in the name of Islam. In the U.S., about eight-in-ten Muslims (81%) say that suicide bombing and similar acts targeting civilians are never justified. Across the globe, a median of roughly seven-in-ten Muslims (72%) agrees.
The numbers for EU muslims are significantly less, in fairness. But these are not the people we're importing here...
With the exception of a few converts, all of these EU Muslims are migrants or decedents of migrants. People clearly do integrate over time. These new immigrants will be no different.
How can you know that?
It's called confirmation bias.
And no comment on the finding that 1/5 US muslims thinks suicide bombing civilian targets can be justified.
Japan and Australia are the models we should follow. Keep the hordes outside your gates. Protect yourselves.
I've met many American Christians who that think killing civilians is justified. They've explained with glee (to a total stranger!) how they'd solve the Middle East crisis. How are these 20% of American Muslims any different?
How can I be sure that these new immigrants will integrate? Generations of evidence that post-war immigrants to the UK have integrated. Why would this new influx be any different? Our track record at integration is a lot better than France's. We don't dump immigrants in ghettos on the edge of cities.
The earlier post-war immigrants came from Commonwealth or former Commonwealth nations that had many shared traditions and values with Britain. And they didn't arrive here expecting to be handed everything on plate.
Compare and contrast with the more recent arrivals from Somali.
Somalia was a British protectorate.
Somalia was a British protectorate.
Somaliland != Somalia. Infinitely nicer place and people (perhaps because they were a British protectorate).
