It is pretty much just a dump of data on Muslims in Britain from a whole pile of sources, so none of this is new (goodness knows why the US classified it "secret").<br /><br />It does point out that Muslims were more likely to say killing in the name of religion is okay than other people, but it lumps all other students, religious and irreligious, into one group. There's no breakdown between atheists/agnostics (who would obviously be against killing in the name of religion, and who probably make up a large proportion of students) and Christians (or any other faith) - though there is the interesting fact that "Only 2 percent of non-Muslims felt killing in the name of religion could be justified" but "only 2<br />percent of non-Muslim students attend any religious service" - looks like response rates for religious students of other persuasions may have been similar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
