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.
Provided the sample surveyed was sufficiently large, and a true cross-section of the group being questioned, then it is statistically acceptable to draw conclusions from the results obtained.

I am not a statistician, but ICM is a respected polling organisation and I have no reason to doubt their findings. Unless it turns out that their sample was drawn from outside Finsbury Park mosque on a Friday afternoon of course.

Indeed. I want the whole world to acknowledge Jesus as their Lord and saviour. I'm not about to tool up and force anyone to believe it though.
