British Muslims are turning their backs on Tony Blair and the Labour Party, a poll shows today.
An overwhelming majority reject the Prime Minister's assurances the war on terror is not aimed at Islam.

But every silver lining has a cloud!

A dramatic switch of political allegiance has made Liberal Democrats the party most strongly supported by UK Muslims according to the ICM poll.

I read the full poll in the Grauniad a couple of days ago. In its full breakdown of Muslim voting intentions, it gave 10% to "other parties", of which 4% to the Greens and 4% to Respect. It didn't even mention UKIP.

I suppose UKIP may account for the remaining 2%, but realistically a little of that probably went to the SNP and Plaid Cymru.
