A quarter of Muslims polled think the authorities involved with staging the 7/7 London bombings.
It's a worrying picture that suggests a significant minority of British Muslims are alienated from the government and the security services.

Muslims in the United States are much more assimilated into society
than Muslims in Britain and elsewhere in Europe, according to a poll
published yesterday.
The detailed survey, conducted by the Washington-based Pew Research
Centre, found that American Muslims tended to have a better standard of
living than their counterparts in Europe and were more comfortable with
a society in which a majority believed in God compared with secular
Europe.

More infuriating than anything George W. Bush said in his State of the Union address was what he didn't say. Congress and the nation heard nothing, zilch, nada, not a single, solitary word about New Orleans, the Gulf Coast and the devastation that remains from the worst natural disaster in United States history.

* Majority live without a spouse, census shows
* Marriage no longer the norm, demographers say
The institution of marriage in America is in serious decline, and a slim majority of women now live without a spouse, new census data show.
Some 51% of women above the age of 15 were living without a spouse in 2005, a sharp rise from the 35% who were on their own in 1950, the halcyon days of the American family, the census data says.
"The institution of marriage that has been written down legally and that used to be the support for women - emotionally, financially - is not something they want to take to as lightly or as early as they had in the past," said William Frey, a demographer at Brookings Institution.

Ten times as many British voters hold President Bush responsible for the violence and instability in Iraq as blame Tony Blair, according to a Times poll.
The poll, undertaken by Populus last weekend, also shows that support for British troops staying in Iraq for as long as it takes to make it a stable democracy is now at a record low. (For more details, see www.populuslimited.com).

* Glass ceiling hampers access to 33,000 top jobs
* Children can spell career death in professions
The glass ceiling is still holding back 6,000 women from the top 33,000 jobs in Britain, according to new research from the Equal Opportunities Commission. Thirty years after the introduction of the Sex Discrimination Act, women are "woefully under-represented" in the country's boardrooms, politics and courts, it says.
