Fun Online Polls: Islamic State, Again.

Posted on the 30 November 2015 by Markwadsworth @Mark_Wadsworth

The responses to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:
What is the most likely cause of Islamic State?
The usual violent Islamic tendencies and outside meddling in Syria - 74%
Climate change - 0%
The Killer Cornflake Conspiracy - 10%
Other, please specify - 15%

So no takers for 'climate change' then. It appears that more people would give credence to the 'Killer Cornflake Conspiracy', which is something equally fictitious.
As to 'outside meddling', from the comments it appears that people interpret this to mean Western meddling. That's only a part of it - the Iranians, the Saudi Arabians and possibly the Turks are just as guilty if not more so.

Being a democratic blog, it's a free vote this week with no party whip this week:
If the UK bombs ISIS targets in Syria, this will…
Make us safer from terrorist attacks
Make us more a more likely target
Not make any measurable difference
Be a waste of money better spent controlling our borders and combatting domestic terrorism
Other, please specify.
