Recent polling conducted by the Henry Jackson Society has revealed concerning trends among British Muslims, particularly those aged 18-34 and university-educated, who exhibit more extremist views compared to their older and less-educated counterparts. About 32 per cent express support for the implementation of Sharia Law in the UK, and nearly half show sympathy towards extremist ideologies. These findings have sparked discussions on the effectiveness of integration policies and the state of multiculturalism in Britain. High-profile figures, including the society's founder Alan Mendoza and former Chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum, Mohammed Amin, have weighed in on the results, highlighting the challenges in assimilating Muslim communities into British society. The polls also indicate a broader concern among the British population about extremism, with 80% expressing concern, and a notable focus on Islamist extremism over other forms. Additionally, a significant majority of young British Muslims believe Israel shouldn’t exist as a Jewish homeland and consider the state of Israel a racist endeavour.
