LONDON — Four out of ten Conservative Party members want limits placed on the number of Muslim people entering the UK, according to a new poll which finds widespread Islamophobia in the party.

The YouGov poll of Conservative Party members, for the anti-racist campaign group Hope Not Hate, found that 40% of members wanted limits on the number of people of the Islamic faith entering the country, as opposed to just 5% who want to see fewer Christians or Jewish people.

The poll also found that:

* 43% of Conservative Party members "would prefer to not have the country led by a Muslim"
* 45% believe that "there are areas in Britain in which non-Muslims are not able to enter,"
* 67% believe that "there are areas in Britain that operate under Sharia law."
* 39% believe that "Islamist terrorists reflect a widespread hostility to Britain amongst the Muslim community."
