�After all, using the same data, it could just as easily have said �Just 1 in 20 British Muslims sympathise with those travelling to Syria�. I will leave others to judge why it did not.�

Survation was approached by the Sun because the paper�s regular pollsters, YouGov, �didn�t want to do the poll�. YouGov said it did not want to carry out the study because it could not be confident that it could accurately represent the British Muslim population within the timeframe and budget set by the paper.

A spokesperson said: �To survey Britain�s Muslim population, particularly at a time of such heightened sensitivities, requires the kind of time, care, and therefore cost, that is beyond a newspaper�s budget.�
