‘Genuinely terrifying’: Nigel Farage ‘disturbed’ by shock poll exposing British Muslim attitudes: ‘32% want Sharia law!’
Nigel Farage says a new poll that found almost a third of British Muslims think Sharia law is ‘desirable’ left him ‘disturbed’.
The survey, carried out by polling firm JL Partners, found 32 per cent of 1,000 British Muslims think the religious law’s implementation is ‘desirable’.
The GB News star was also shocked by 15 per cent admitting they have a “very positive” view of terrorist organisation Hamas, as well as another 14 per cent saying they had a “quite positive” view of the group.
“The one I found perhaps most worrying of all is 32 per cent of British Muslims want to see Sharia law implemented”, he said.
“I find this genuinely terrifying. The Muslim population in Britain is four million today.
“By 2050, it’s projected to be over ten million. Are we to have a huge group of millions of people living in our midst that not only don’t share our values, but also want to impose their values on us?

Pro-Palestine demonstrations that have taken place across Britain since the October 7 atrocities have been comprised of large numbers of British Muslims.

Hamas’s massacre saw 1,200 civilians killed and a further 235 taken hostage from southern Israel.
