Terrifying poll: Widespread sympathy for ISIS among British youth

(IraqiNews.com) A new opinion poll in Britain revealed terrifying and unexpected results relating to the so-called the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), where it was found that 1 out of every 7 British young adults sympathize with ISIS, despite the fact that Britain is involved in the international coalition against ISIS to end its control over large areas in both Iraq and Syria.

The poll results, which were published in the British newspaper The Times, showed that “ISIS enjoys sympathy among young adults, who are under 35 years, amid a rise in the numbers of the disaffected on politics in general, who have no interest in political affairs in Britain.”

According to the poll, 1 out of every 10 young people in London sympathizes with ISIS, while in Scotland, the ratio drops to one out of every 12 young men. The rate registered a significant increase among young people who are under 25 years of age.

The findings come in a popular poll curried out for the first time in Britain, where a sample of 2,000 people responded on the survey questions, while the survey asks of every young person in the age group (18 to 34 years old) to rank countries and terrorist organizations, according to the worst and most dangerous from 1 to 10, in addition to some other questions which refer to the size of the sympathy and resentment. The poll ended with the following result: a large segment of British youth admires the organization ISIS.

According to the Times, “experts say that the admiration and sympathy among young people towards the organization ISIS include a large number of non-Muslims, in addition to Islamic extremists.”
