(File/AP Photo)British Muslims have “separatist” tendencies and display belief in conspiracy theories, according to the findings of an extensive UK-wide survey released on Friday. The study found that Muslims are more opposed to terrorism than the UK’s population as a whole, with 89 per cent of Muslims saying it is wrong to use violence for political purposes while 81 per cent of British people agreed.
