I do employ you to read the length of the piece for it is very thought provoking. Again it pisses me of that we now ourselves are having to connect the dots between lies and scams when our supposedly 'world famous' media are supposed to do that for us...A statistic from the Open Society Institute’s Report on 11 EU Citiesrecently hit the headlines. [The Institute is funded by George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist.]UK Muslims are Europe’s most patriotic said The Sunday Times on 13 December. “….. on average 78% of Muslims identified themselves as British, although this dropped by six points in east London.”
The Telegraph had something similar Muslims in Britain are the most patriotic in Europe according to a new study
It also allowed a least one commentator to conclude that multi-culturalism British style really works and we need more of it.
Pickled Politics told us New poll shows why multi-culturalism works“…. The study and report is a slap in the face for right-wing dogma …. it shows that Britain’s relaxed attitude to differences in religion and culture has made British Muslims more likely to identify with this country and be proud of the liberal traditions they live in ....”
Nevermind the fact that the statistic is highly suspect and the claims based on it very dubious. Remarkably, even the authors of the report themselves say that the findings are not representative. And the report examines neither patriotism nor liberal attitudes as its purpose and coverage is something else altogether.

It's almost pointless to do surveys such as this. Even if the question(s) is/are phrased incredibly carefully someone will always find bias, and then everybody else will slice and dice the figures to suit their own views.
Frankly this poll is a prime example - the headline made waves (as intended) and the analysis (even that done by the authors themselves!) was lost in translation. I'm glad that LibertyPhile took the time to look behind the strapline, and thanks too for widening the distribution, 13th.
'British muslims are the most patriotic in Europe.'
That's not saying a lot.
