UK Poll Shows Up To 1.5 Million ISIS Supporters In Britain

- The Clarion Project -

There may be an estimated 1.5 million supporters of the Islamic State in the UK, according to a poll by The Daily Mirror.

Polling company ICM conducted a poll for the newspaper of 2,016 people, who rated their feelings on the Islamic State.

Support for the world’s most notorious terrorist group had risen compared to last year’s poll. Last year, two percent rated their feelings towards ISIS as ‘very favorable’ with five percent regarding the group ‘somewhat favorably.’

This year those numbers have risen with three percent feeling ‘very favorable’ towards the Islamic State and six percent feeling ‘somewhat favorable.’

Overall British opinion of the Islamic State seemed to very hostile. The poll recorded 80 percent of respondents as feeling ‘very unfavorable’ with a further five percent feeling ‘somewhat unfavorable.’ Six percent said they did not know.

This represents a hardening of hostility to the Islamic State. Last year 44 percent of respondents felt ‘very unfavorable’ towards the Islamic State, with 20 percent feeling ‘somewhat unfavorable.’ Then, 29 percent of respondents said they did not know.

The stark disparity can be attributed to the many high profile atrocities perpetrated by the Islamic State since their declaration of a Caliphate a year ago and their blitzkrieg conquest of Mosul and large parts of Sunni Iraq.
