Hawzah News Agency-A narrow majority of British Muslims (52 percent) have no idea who was responsible for the deadly 9/11 attacks on New York City’s World Trade Center complex, and — shockingly — nearly one-third (31 percent) believe the U.S. government was responsible, according to a new study.
In addition, the Policy Exchange survey, which included 3,000 Muslims from a range of towns, found that only 4 percent of British Muslims correctly identify Al Qaeda as the terror organization responsible for the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
And perhaps even more stunning is the fact that more British Muslims believe Jews (7 percent) were behind the deadly assaults than Al Qaeda. 
The general British population differs greatly from the opinions of the Muslims polled. According to the study, 71 percent of Brits blame Al Qaeda, 10 percent blame then-President George W. Bush’s administration and a mere 1 percent believe Jews were behind 9/11.
There are 2.7 million Muslims living in Britain, according to the U.K.’s 2011 census, accounting for 4.8 percent of the nation’s population.
Regarding the high percentage of Muslim respondents who rejected the presence of extremism, Birmingham Labour politician Khalid Mahmood had this to say:
It is obviously a cause for concern that so many within our communities should doubt the very existence of this phenomenon, even as we face a severe and on-going terrorist threat.
Despite the concerning numbers regarding extremism, according to Policy Exchange, 93 percent of Muslim respondents either feel “very strongly” or “fairly strongly” attached to Britain as their home country.
“I wouldn’t affiliate myself to any nation other than Great Britain. I think it’s the best place in the world to live,” one respondent said.
