11 percent said yes. S

Another four percent refused to answer or said they didn’t know.

Twenty percent of respondents agreed that “western liberal society” is not compatible with Islam, while another seven percent said they didn’t know. Asked if they felt sympathy toward those who want to “fight against western interests,” 11 percent said yes. And asked if they knew any Muslims who were “strongly sympathetic” toward ISIS and al-Qaeda, eight percent said they did.

Some of the results seem to be at odds with other responses in the same poll. For instance, 95 percent of Muslim respondents said they felt loyal to Britain and 93 percent said Muslims should obey British law. Asked if they would call police on someone who they knew to be planning violence, 94 percent said yes.

The poll could have some resonance here in the United States where the President has repeatedly claimed ISIS has no connection to Islam. Specifically, Obama claimed last year during a scripted primetime address that the Islamic State was “un-Islamic.” More recently, at a summit on violent extremism, he refused to identify ISIS as Islamic, instead saying they are “terrorists” with no religious affiliation whatsoever. Obama also argued that the idea Islam was incompatible with western values was “a lie.”

They propagate the notion that America — and the West, generally — is at war with Islam.  That’s how they recruit.  That’s how they try to radicalize young people.  We must never accept the premise that they put forward, because it is a lie.
