As the 7/7 anniversary approaches, a survey has revealed that a "significant minority" of Muslims in Britain believe the bombers are martyrs.

The poll for ITV News and The Times indicates that the Muslim community in the UK appears to be sharply-divided over terrorism and security.

Of the 1,131 Muslims surveyed, 56 per cent said the Government is not doing enough to fight extremism - more than the 49 per cent for the population as a whole.

But, a significant minority, 13 per cent, believe the 7/7 bombers should be regarded as "martyrs". And 7 per cent felt suicide attacks on UK civilians could be justified in some circumstances. This rose to 16 per cent for a military target.

Of those polled, 16 per cent said the attacks by four suicide bombers on the London Underground and a double-decker bus were wrong but the cause was right.

And a similar number said they would be "indifferent" if a family member joined al-Qaeda while 2 per cent said they would actually be proud.

But half of those polled thought intelligence services have the right to infiltrate Muslim organisations to gather information about their activities. Two-in-three - 65 per cent - said their community needed to integrate better into British society.

Meanwhile, more than a third, 35 per cent, said that they would feel proud if a close family member joined the police force.

even though it's a small minority, i can't understand how anyone can justify murdering innocent civillians, let alone make them martyrs

I think among the followers of some interpretations of Islam, christians or any non-muslims are not considered real people but rather kind of sub-humans who are tolerated only if they subordinate. So killing some of them is not a big deal, as they will all end up in hell anyway.

Once again, proves that being politically correct doesn't work. We're at war with Islamic Extremism, what does that mean. You have to target the islamic community. Sorry if a couple of bad apples ruin the whole cart but that's life and that's war. Life isn't fair all the time.

We gotta fight these emenies like how we fought that Japs during WWII. Hold nothing back.

Read the book "Londonistan" to learn more about the true face of Islam in Europe and particularly in UK

Yes, we must fight an island hopping campaign followed with a couple of nuclear devices. That should fix everything.
