So no, it is not the majority of UK Muslims who want sharia law, but apparently a large percentage of them would. And I would consider 40% a pretty significant proportion. (Since the UK has an electoral system where 40% of the population can actually elect a government...)
As you point out, that was in the Sun...

I disagree. Such a small sample population cannot represent the views of Muslims in the UK. You're talking of less than 1% of the UK muslim population. If I took 100 people from the streets (all white and english) and 40% when questioned said they were racist, would it make the majority of white english people racist?
As for 40% of the UK population being able to elct a governemt, ur not telling me only 500 people voted are you? The comparision is not valid.
And yes the statements I printed were in the Sun. Read by millions of people of which the majority are said to believe everything they read. Thats why its not good.
