It was a telephone survey, and the first question was "Are you a Muslim?" Only those who self-identified as a Muslim were then asked subsequent questions. This is obviously problematic. What was the <br /><br />"Who's asking?" <br />"Survation." <br />"Never heard of them" <br /><br />rate? (Or indeed the "Damn your impertinence" rate?). "Don't know" doesn't quite do justice to a legitimate range of other responses one might make faced with such a line of questioning.<br /><br />Identity is a complex matter. Last I heard there was freedom of religious expression in the UK, so asking whether your British or Muslim identity is more important to you (Qu. 1) is a false dichotomy: you have a perfect right to be both, though whoever drafted the question seems to have been untroubled by this obvious difficulty.<br /><br />Whilst I suppose the Sun can hardly sink lower, neither does this survey reflect well on the polling organisation which agreed to put these questions in this manner.Douglas Carnall, @juliuzbeezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563159368217318352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-56695761106614528612015-11-23T13:23:11.984+00:002015-11-23T13:23:11.984+00:00Yes, and there's Kelvin Coward MacKenzie bring...Yes, and there's Kelvin Coward MacKenzie bringing up the rear with his "...worrying suspicions..."<br /><br />Well, I've NEVER held any "suspicions" about either MacKenzie or Murdoch. I KNOW they're both gobshites. So is anyone who works at the Scum and doesn't speak out against them.
