Many British Muslims Considering Leaving UK

HeadlineJul 27, 2005

The Guardian of London is reporting that hundreds of thousands of Muslims have considered leaving Britain following the July 7th bombings. The British newspaper conducted a poll that found one in five Muslims living in Britain say they or a family member has faced abuse or hostility over the past three weeks. Nearly 80 percent of Muslims in Britain believe the country’s participation in the invasion and occupation of Iraq lead to the bombings. Overall about two-thirds of the British population holds that view.
