Over Half of British Muslims Think Homosexuality Should Be Illegal Poll Finds
More than half of British Muslims think homosexuality should be illegal in the U.K. a new survey found. In general, the views of British Muslims aligned with the views of Britain's population as a whole, according to a survey by public researcher ICM for a Channel 4 documentary called What British Muslims Really Think that will air on Wednesday. But when asked how they felt about homosexuality being legal in Britain, 52 disagreed and 18 agreed, the Guardian reports. In contrast, 5 of Britain's population at large disagreed with homosexuality being legal, the survey found. The poll also found that 86 of British Muslims feel a strong sense of belonging in the country, while 83 of the entire population feels the same. ICM conducted the poll with 1,000 face-to-face interviews across the U.K. over a month last year. The group held a control sample of 1,008 people across the country interviewed over the phone.
