Poll: Nearly One Third of British Muslims Blame US for 9/11 Attacks

TEHRAN (IQNA) – A narrow majority of British Muslims (52 percent) have no idea who was responsible for the deadly 9/11 attacks on New York City’s World Trade Center complex, and nearly one-third (31 percent) believe the US government was responsible, according to a new study.

 

In addition, the Policy Exchange survey, which included 3,000 Muslims from a range of towns, found that only 4 percent of British Muslims identify Al Qaeda as the terror organization responsible for the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

And more British Muslims believe Zionists (7 percent) were behind the deadly assaults than Al Qaeda.  

The general British population differs greatly from the opinions of the Muslims polled. According to the study, 71 percent of Brits blame Al Qaeda, 10 percent blame then-President George W. Bush’s administration and a mere 1 percent believe Zionists were behind 9/11.

There are 2.7 million Muslims living in Britain, according to the the country’s 2011 census, accounting for 4.8 percent of the nation’s population.
