Over half of the UK’s Conservative party members believe Islam is a threat to the British way of life, a new poll finds.

Fifty-eight percent of the 521 Tory party members surveyed by Opinium say Islam poses a threat to this country.

The figure is double the overall figure of those polled.

The survey also finds that 52% believe the conspiracy theory that certain areas in European cities are under sharia law and are off-limits to non-Muslims.
