Q.
Nearly two-thirds of Brits think Muslims living in the UK are not loyal to our country.
Only 36% of us think we can trust them, says a new Gallup poll.
Do you think we can believe these Gallup polls?

Yes, we can trust this poll on British feelings re Muslims. Non-Muslim Brits are candid about their opinions when confronted with a pollster. (Unlike a Taqiya-practising Muslim Brit facing a pollster.)
Dalia Mogahed, who was recently appointed to US president Barack Obama's advisory council on faith-based and neighbourhood partnerships and is executive director of the Gallup Centre for Muslim Studies, said some of the findings surprised her, particularly that British Muslims identified more with their home nation than did non-Muslims because "it flew in the face of conventional wisdom". She expressed concern that British Muslims were less happier and less "thriving" than Muslims overseas.
Mogahed being a naive idiot fails to appreciate that the majority of British Muslims are Urdu-speaking peasants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and India - hence their backwardness in education and subsequent lack of economic success.
European Muslims are mainly from Arabic-speaking countries.

U cant generalise things ! There are muslims with perfect integrity to their country and those muslims who dont have that, as with any other religion. But there is one difference : muslims have a strong religious identity which cut across national boundaries, which relgions dont have. When pakistan lost last last years world cup, pak captain apoligised to muslim community of the world, not to pakistan. This Islam identity can over shadow national identity atleast with a few of them !

The same Britishers though they had right to rule India and even called our freedom fighter like Bhagat Singh , We all communities in India irrespective of religion should continue to be loyal and not divided by politicians who instigate riots or bring useless issue's to divide nation ,
