Here's how propaganda works: only 1 in 4 UK Muslims know Hamas raped and murdered Israelis on Oct. 7

According to a survey, only 1 in 4 British Muslims know Hamas carried out rape and murder on October 7 of last year while 75% either don't believe it, or pretend it never happened. 

This was the largest survey conducted of British Muslims since the war began and was commissioned by the Henry Jackson Society, a counter-extremist think-tank. The survey found that 46 percent, just slightly below half of British Muslims, are pro-Hamasshole. 

The findings arrive on April 7, the six-month anniversary of Hamas' attack on Israeli civilians, when they invaded Israel and murdered some 1,200 Israelis and took around 253 hostages, about 130 of whom are still believed to be held by the terror group in Gaza. [I hold less hope for them but hope that I'm totally wrong.]

Asked whether Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel on October 7, only 24 per cent of British Muslims said they had, compared to 62 per cent of the wider public. So it appears that Muslims are getting their news from their mosques or the internet where propaganda is rampant.

The report found that younger and well-educated Muslims were the most likely to believe Hamas carried out no atrocities on October 7, with 47 per cent of 18–24-year-olds and 40 per cent of the university-educated.

The survey also found that over half of British Muslims, 52 per cent, want to make it illegal to show a picture of the Prophet Mohammed, and about a third, 32 per cent, wish to see Shariah law implemented in the UK. They say that "Pro Mo" looks a lot like a--wait--I'm afraid to say.

Fiyaz Mughal, founder of Muslims Against Antisemitism and the interfaith group Faith Matters, told the Sunday Telegraph that the findings are “shocking but also not shocking.”

I'm pretty Fiyaz has read the Koran and knows that it tells Muslims that Jews are akin to the devil and killing them is a mitzvah, if you don't mind me using a Jewish term for a good deed.

He said: “The sense that Hamas did not conduct massacres and rapes in Israel is atrocious because it shows a closed-off mentality of anything emanating from Israel.”

The survey, wass performed by polling company J L Partners. It also found that 46 per cent of British Muslims say Jews have too much power over UK government policy (compared to 16 per cent of the general public) while 41 per cent said Jews have too much power in the media and 39 per cent said Jews have too much power in the UK’s financial system.

So what do they think, that their jobs were just handed to them by some invisible source? They studied, they worked for it. 

Mughal said the findings confirm that “a lot of work needs to be done to inform, challenge, and address old anti-Semitic tropes,” adding that a failure on the part of the government to invest in better guidance for teachers and education establishments risks “a social cohesion problem.”

Thirty-nine percent of British Muslims said Hamas did commit atrocities on October 7, with 37 percent saying they did not know whether they had or not.

Alan Mendoza, Executive Director of the Henry Jackson Society, said the findings was evidence of “the failure of counter-extremism policy over the years.”

He said there may be an “unwillingness to tackle this kind of extremism for fear of being labeled Islamophobic or racist, a neat trick invented by terrorists to shut us up.

“The government needs to find a way of supporting and strengthening the voice of moderate Muslims and drive the extremist narrative to the side-lines.”

I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon, unless the modern day Koran is modified to sound more like a religious book than a war manual.
