0 percent of British Muslims view homosexuality as morally acceptable ?
Advertisements [?]
<The new Gallup Coexist Foundation poll out today on Muslim integration shows the huge gulf of understanding that exists in the UK between Muslims and non-Muslims. This seems to have little to do with religiosity, however, and to be more culturally based. Read our news report here.

British Muslims are among the most conservative in Europe on a whole raft of moral issues, the report reveals.

It says: 'The French public is more likely than any other population polled to view homosexuality (78 per cent) as morally acceptable. As points of comparison, 68 per cent of Germans and 58 per cent of Britons believe homosexuality is morally acceptable. Among European Muslim populations surveyed, the acceptability of homosexuality is highest among French Muslims (35 per cent ) and lowest among British Muslims (0 per cent). On the issue of abortion, the French (78 per cent) are also far more likely than Britons (55 per cent) and Germans (47 per cent) to say that it is morally acceptable. French Muslims (35 per cent) are the most likely among the Muslim populations.' surveyed to believe abortion is morally acceptable.' >
