The sense of grievance may not justified but it is widespread. A 2004 study by Home Office survey found 26 percent of British Muslims felt no loyalty to Britain, 13 percent defended terrorism, and about 16,000 were prepared to engage in or actively support terrorism. In addition, four out of 10 British Muslims want Sharia law (which includes punitive stoning and amputation) introduced into parts of the country, and a fifth have sympathy with the "feelings and motives" of the suicide bombers who killed 52 people in the London terrorist bus and tube attacks.
