Even if all 500 agreed with that , then to say that this is a representation of what the majority of muslims ion the UK feel is just plain stupid.
On a further note if you read page 8 of todays Sun, as a few million people in the UK will do so, under a headline of "Beware the rise of muslim hardliners" it says that 4 out of 10 British muslims now favour strict Sharia Law for their communities. Later on it says "Imams in 200 UK mosques hark back to Islams &th century glory days when small armies of determined men swept outr of arabia conquering Spain and threatening Europe..."
Now I go to 4 mosques regualry in South London, and never have I heard that, and more importantly theres no mention of survey numbers, implying that 400,000 UK muslims (approx) feel that Shariah law should be in the UK. Now that to me, just adds fuel to a Lets Be Scared of Islam/Muslims want to take over the UK attitude taht I see a lot of people trying to get at. Doesnt do much for muslim/non muslim relations does it

Whatever the sample and percentages, IMO it is clear a significant proportion of UK muslims would like to see islamic law (whether sharia or whatever) introduced in UK as the lead if not sole religion. Also it is clear that this proportion is likely to be be the most fundamental, hardline, fanatical and vociferous and as such more likely to be heard than the moderate majority.
