Forty per cent of Muslims between the ages of 16 and 24 said they would prefer to live under sharia law in Britain, a legal system based on the teachings of the Koran.
In some countries, people found guilty under sharia law face penalties such as beheading, stoning, the severing of a hand or being lashed.
The study also found a significant minority who expressed backing for Islamic terrorism.
One in eight young Muslims said they admired groups such as al-Qa’eda that “are prepared to fight the West”.
Turning to issues of faith, 36 per cent of the young people questioned said they believed that a Muslim who converts to another religion should be “punished by death.” Among the over 55s, the figure is only 19 per cent.
Forty per cent of younger Muslims said they would want their children to attend an Islamic school.
The report says there is strong evidence of a “growing religiosity” among young Muslims, with an increasing minority firmly rejecting Western life.
Munira Mirza, the broadcaster and one of the authors of the report, argued that multicultural policies pursued by the Government had succeeded in making things worse, rather than better.
She said: “The emergence of a strong Muslim identity in Britain is, in part, a result of multi-cultural policies implemented since the 1980s which have emphasised difference at the expense of shared national identity and divided people along ethnic, religious and cultural lines.
“There is clearly a conflict within British Islam between a moderate majority that accepts the norms of British democracy and a growing minority that does not.”
The report also raises questions about the scale of the problems created by Islamophobia, with 84 per cent of those questioned saying they believed they had been “treated fairly” in Britain.
Three quarters said it was wrong for a council to have banned an advert for a Christmas carol service.
Shahid Malik, the Muslim Labour MP for Dewsbury, said: “This report makes very disturbing reading and it vindicates the concern many of us have that we’re not doing enough to confront this issue.”

Put your hand up if you like sharia law…….
Don’t you dare try and muddy the waters Emma, cultural clashes are not always racial.
The asians who want sharia law should go to a country that has it, the reason they don’t is because all the countries that do are third world sh*t holes.
Cultures can mix, it depends on which ones, unfortunately the muslim religion is arrogant which teaches that all non muslims are beneath them and infidels.
I regulary go to an area that is heavily populated by Koreans and there is no trouble at all.
Muslim public opinion on sharia law is rife in the western world, take a look at this ridiculous nonsense.

Deport the lot of ’em.
A SMOKER was refused cigarettes at a Cambridge store because the Muslim shop assistant said it was against her religion to sell tobacco.
A 31-year-old woman, who asked not to be identified, was shocked when she attempted to buy a pack of 20 cigarettes at the WH Smith store in Market Street and was turned down.
She said: “I asked for a pack of 20 Lambert & Butler and the woman behind the desk asked me if they were cigarettes.
“When I said they were she told me that it was against her religion to sell them – I couldn’t believe my ears.
“I rang up the manager to complain and he said the shop assistant has to ask someone else to serve them for her if a customer wants tobacco.
“If she had just said, I can’t serve you, then that would have been fair enough, but the thing that really annoyed me was the way she gave me a lecture as well.
“She started saying she doesn’t agree with smoking, that it kills you – I was really gob-smacked.”
When contacted by the News, the store’s assistant manager, who refused to give her name, said: “It is true that Muslims can’t sell cigarettes – I used to be Jehovah’s Witness and I wouldn’t on religious grounds either.”
She said the customer should have realised the shop assistant was a Muslim, and would not sell her tobacco, because she was “sitting there in her full robes”.
Asked why the store had someone who would not sell tobacco working behind the till, she said: “It is against the law to discriminate against people on religious grounds“.
However, a leading Muslim denied the claim it was against Islam to sell tobacco, and said he had Muslim friends who smoke.
Asim Mumtaz, president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association in Cambridge, said: “I don’t think there is any basis for refusing to sell cigarettes.
“Islam, like most religions, is against anything that injures health or the body, but there is no ban on cigarettes or on smoking.
“The holy Koran is quite specific about intoxicants, alcohol and other drugs which cause a person to lose control are forbidden, but cigarettes are not forbidden so I am surprised by this.”

Farce! Tobacco is a drug, so it is forbidden.
Anyone wana argue that multiculturalism is a good thing?
WHY are you guys voting for multiculturalism?
Our once wonderfull society is turning into a nightmare. Multicultural political parties are going to bring this country to its knees.
YOU decide YOUR future.
A supply teacher has been sacked from a secondary school following complaints from Muslim pupils.
Andrew McLuskey was sacked from Bayliss Court Secondary School in Slough after a Religious Education lesson discussing the pros and cons of religion.
Pupils at the predominantly Muslim school claimed Mr McLuskey said most suicide bombers were Muslim.
But he rejected the allegation and said the school was too quick to sack him without giving him right of reply.
“I feel it’s very unjust,” he said.
“I think I should’ve been given the chance to respond to the allegations and not in effect be ejected from a job without the chance to defend myself.”
The school authorities denied they were being heavy-handed and said their first priority was pupils’ welfare.
“I don’t think it’s important what I think,” said the school’s deputy head teacher Ray Hinds.
“It’s what the pupils think that were in the classroom at the time. And they were very upset.”

Doesn’t seem to matter what Mr Mcluskey said, its how the children feel of what he said, when he may not have said anything bad.
Not innocent before proved guilty, guilty because muslim children feel so. Banana republic.
Tell me again, why did you vote New Labour? Why do you let this nonsense go on? Why do you feel its justifiable to turn our society into a hellhole?
Emma, demonising Islam and Muslim scholl children is not the way forward. Dont children have rights? Do they have to accept whatever is said to them and “tough” if you don’t like it.
Children have the right to complain- what is at fault is the school for its perceived PC attitude and the Sec of State for Eduation for creating a culture like this BUT it isnt the fault of any religion, section of society or child.
The more you demonise something or someone, the more you alienate people- this is actually core to what the BNP are trying to acheive- the more radical they can make Muslims out to be (irrespetive of fact), the more people will believe it.
Quite insidious really.
What should have happened
Children complain, headmaster talks to teacher, teacher gives his side of story and headmaster decides what will occur from now on.
Teacher isnt sacked but more mindful or making statement which can be miscontrued and everyone goes back to normal
Not difficult is it

I agree, and yes they do.

No.

Slayer, you are beginning to see the light.

I agree, if the headmaster does the right thing.

No. Makes you wonder why the teacher wasn’t given the right of reply.
Emma
I havent “begun to see the light”- Ive always been enlightened
The difference is, I wouldnt have chosen to make this thread an attack on Islam or Muslim children- there are examples daily of PCness gone mad in schools- I don’t blame Islam, multiculturalism or the child for that.
You use sensationalist language, higlighted in red to single out specific Islamic points, to make a point about political correctness

I havn’t, im blaming your multicultural friends. THEY are the one’s who allow the radicalism.

It explains the nightmare you think is good for our society.
The thing is slayer, you either welcome this moderate to extremism into our country and go with it, or you say goodbye to it all, because one person’s extremism, is another’s moderate.
