"Muslims in London not only have almost twice as much confidence in
the government as the wider public, but greater faith in the police,
judicial and electoral system, a poll suggested Tuesday.

Pollsters Gallup also found that a greater proportion of Muslims living in
the British capital renounced violence than did the general population, and
a higher percentage felt a strong sense of loyalty towards Britain.

Gallup’s released data suggest that media reports characterising the Muslim
community as radicalised, alienated and disenfranchised may be wide of the
mark.

These results suggest that Britain's 1.56 million-strong Muslim community
has a far more positive outlook."

"- 81 percent of London Muslims said violence was completely
unjustified, even if used in a "noble cause" compared to 72
percent of the general public.

- 74 percent said they were loyal to Britain compared to 45 percent of
non-Muslims.

- 82 percent respected other religions, as opposed to 54 percent of the
wider public.

- 78 percent versus 69 percent had confidence in the police; for the
government, judicial system and elections the figures were 64 percent vs 36
percent, 67 percent vs 55 percent and 73 percent vs 60 percent.

But despite apparently more relaxed attitudes, Muslims in the capital were
twice as likely than non-Muslims to say they had experienced racial or
religious discrimination in the last year."
