<p>A poll carried out by ICM also found that only 34% of British Muslims would tell the police if they thought someone they knew was getting involved with supporters of terrorism in Syria.</p>
<p>Commissioned for Channel 4 it will feature in a documentary called What British Muslims Really Think, presented by Trevor Phillips &#8211; former Equality and Human Rights Commission chairman.</p>
<p>The survey was carried out to try and understand what British Muslims &#8211; not their representatives &#8211; think, and to discover why some young Muslims are being drawn to violence.</p>
<p>When asked to what extent they agreed that homosexuality should be legal in Britain, 52% said they disagreed, and 47% said it was unacceptable for a gay or lesbian person to teach in school.</p>
<p>Of the 1,000 people surveyed, 23% said they would support there being areas of Britain in which Sharia law was introduced instead of British law.</p>
<p>Four per cent of those polled said they sympathise with people who take part in suicide bombing to fight injustice.</p>
<p>More than one third &#8211; 39% &#8211; were also found to be of the view that &#8220;wives should always obey their husbands&#8221;.</p>
<p>A large majority of British Muslims, 86%, said they felt a strong sense of belonging to Britain, with 94% saying they felt they were able to freely practise their religion.</p>
<p>Responding to the findings, Mr Phillips said they pose profound questions for society and the implications for future relations between Britain&#8217;s Muslim and non-Muslim communities.</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;Hearing what British Muslims themselves think, rather than listening to those purporting to speak on their behalf, is critical if we are to prevent the establishment of a nation within our nation. Many of the results will be troubling to Muslims and non-Muslims alike &#8211; and the analysis of the age profile shows us that the social attitudes revealed are unlikely to change quickly.</p>
<p>&#8220;The integration of Britain&#8217;s Muslims will probably be the hardest task we&#8217;ve ever faced. It will require the abandonment of the milk-and-water multiculturalism still so beloved of many, and the adoption of a far more muscular approach to integration.&#8221;</p>
<p>ICM used face-to-face, in-home research to question a representative sample of 1,000 Muslims across Britain.</p>
