In Great Britain, Muslims Worry About Islamic Extremism

"Concerns Pre-Date Airplane Plot"

"A Pew Global Attitudes Project survey conducted this spring found 43% of British Muslims "very concerned" about the rise of Islamic extremism among Muslims living in that country. That's twice the proportion that expressed similar fears in Spain (21%) and significantly more than in Germany (23%) or France (26%).

In Great Britain, Muslim worries about Islamic extremism were broadly shared by the general public, which expressed more concern in 2006 than it did in a comparable survey conducted in spring 2005, prior to the London subway bombings on July 7, 2005."
