Almost one third of British Muslim students think it is acceptable to kill in the name of Islam, results of a poll show.
The findings shed light on the extent of campus radicalism and will raise concerns about extremism across British Universities.
The YouGov poll for the Centre for Social Cohesion also found that two in five Muslims at university support the idea of Islamic sharia codes being enshrined in British law, the Sunday Times has reported.
One of the report authors Han-nah Stuart said the study's findings came as an embarrassing blow to those who play down the threat of extremism within Britain's campuses.
Some of the findings support previous research. A report by Policy Exchange last year found that 37 per cent of all Muslims aged 16-24 would prefer to live under a sharia system.

Wes Streeting, president of the National Union of Students, branded the study as 'disgusting' saying the results only served as a 'reflection of the biases and prejudices of a right-wing think tank – not the views of Muslim students across Britain.'
He added: 'Only 632 Muslim students were asked vague and misleading questions, and their answers were wilfully misinterpreted.'

This makes my skin crawl, not because I have a problem with Muslims....not at all....but because I cannot stand the idea of the state mixing with any church...guaranteed to be a recipe for carnage, whoever it involves. Religion and State should not be mixed...ever, in my opinion. The only way to ensure total religious freedom for all the citizens of any country is to make sure that the Government is as religiously and spiritually neutral as possible and that all beliefs hold the same weight of legal rights. Sharia law, Pagan law, Christian or Jewish law....none of them should be involved in a legal system.
