The downside of that strategy, however, is that it will be constructed on a lie. In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks the BBC conducted an opinion poll of the views of the British Muslim community. 27 per-cent of those questioned agreed with the statement “I have some sympathy behind the motives of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris”. A further 2 per cent refused to answer. A further 8 per cent couldn’t make up their minds whether they agreed with the statement or not.
