I am concerned that two thirds of British Muslims would not alert the authorities to a terrorist plot. That is a high and disturbing number.

Really......
Thanks for the link. And what page of that would this be on?
I smell bullshit.
"Astonishing" two in three British Muslims would NOT give police terror tip-offs
TWO thirds of British Muslims would not inform the police if they thought that somebody close to them had become involved with terrorist sympathisers, according to a poll.

Yeah yeah the poll is directly linked above. You yourself saw it and clicked "thank you".
--- Now
where is that result in the poll? Give us a question number, a page number, a quote, anything.
Fair warning --- I already know exactly where it is and exactly what it says and as well, what it does not say. This bullshit fake headline is about to be exposed.
OK fake-news junkies, I gave you two hours. Time's up. By this point you've either pored through the link to find out your headline is bullshit, or you're running away in fear of what it actually says.
Based on my experience with these things I'm impressed. This is actually a pretty comprehensive study. Very thorough, finding out exactly where people live, how they got there, what they think about their country (UK) and how they're treated there and how they view their cultural ideals (interestingly, for one, the idea of Sharia as community law checks in at a whoppng 1%).
Notable finds:
- In Question 22 (p 243) three-quarters all respondents condemn the use of threats of violence/terrorism. 83% condemn the idea of terrorist acts used as protest (and, p 260, well over 90% condemn depending on region)
- In Question 23 (p 275) greater than four out of five condemn the idea of "suicide bombing to fight injustice"
- Question 35 (p 317) asks "Have you personally seen anything which has tried to encourage people to support violent extremism in the name of religion? 82% responded "no".
Not looking real good for the veracity of this headline is it?
Here it is -- Question 37, page 323:
"If you thought that someone who is close to you was getting involved with people who support terrorism in Syria, would you:" (followed by choices of what they would do in that case)
The 'winner' in that question was "Talk directly to that person about it to dissuade them" (46%)
Next was "Look for help" at 37%. "Help" was defined in the poll as talking to one's own family, talking to the recruit's family, consulting an imam, and community organisations.
The only other avenue offered to counter the person being recruited was "Report it to the police" at 34%. "I would not get involved" was chosen by less than ten percent.
In other words
of the three avenues listed to stop the recruit from getting involved in terrorism (specifically in Syria), "report it to the police" was deemed the
least directly effective of the three. Personal contact was deemed more effective, followed by guidance from community groups, families and religious clerics.
ALL of them are methods of dissuading the recruit from that course, the only difference being which avenue would be most effective. And you'll notice that 46 + 37 + 34 add up to 117%, meaning many would follow more than one of those courses simultaneously. All for the same purpose of arresting the recruitment of this hypothetical person to terrorism.
That's it --- they say
personal action would be more effective than the indirect "reporting it to the police". Ask any Second Amendment person on this site about a similar situation versus "report it to the police" and watch a similar result.
So where is the negatively-phrased question that says the respondent
"would not" report it to the police?
Again that was asserted here:
"Astonishing" two in three British Muslims would NOT give police terror tip-offs
and here:
I am concerned that two thirds of British Muslims would not alert the authorities to a terrorist plot. That is a high and disturbing number.
Where does that finding appear in this poll?
NOWHERE. That question does not exist.
Nowhere does it ask what the respondent would NOT do. That's why they can't answer my pointed question --- they didn't even bother to read their own source material.
A "high and disturbing number"? Sure it is. Because it's FAKE. That's the whole idea ----- to get the gullibles to swallow a headline. WHEN is it ever going to sink in to you Gullibles that these bullshit headlines are written to play y'all like a three-dollar banjo? A "high and disturbing number" is exactly what's going to sell papers. DUH!
Moreover to add insult to gullibility, the question was never about a "terrorist plot" nor did it refer to "tip offs" about such a plot in the UK. It says, specifically "in Syria". And
nowhere does it ask the exclusionary.
Always vet your source. Thanks to
Papageorgio providing the link that disproves the fake news with his own link that he didn't bother to read but didn't hesitate to trot out when he thought it said something it doesn't.
