That, with the exception of Britain (2.7% Muslims), Italy (14% Muslims) and Russia (6% Muslims), India (20% Muslims) seems to have the smallest percentage – of a very large number – who thinks a violent conflict is inevitable.

And call me naive, but 92% of Muslims who are not in favour of terrorist acts is something not to ignore either.

That is the problem with statistics. It can be interpreted either way, depending on the lens. Also since we do not know what questions were asked, how do we know how to interpret the answers?

But interesting to see some interest in the matter.

Back in late 1990s, all Asians in the UK were just that – Asians. Around early Noughties, the FT started to recognise Indians, Chinese, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. What prompted that segmentation? Perhaps it is worth exploring, knowing and using again.

Thanks.
