"The Pew Research Center recently did a poll of muslims in the USA which found that a full 26% of them supported suicide bombings as a means to their ends.
You don't need to "twist" the facts to see that many, many muslims are not concerned with the well being of those in the western world. In fact, want to destroy us."
ooo_ooo_ooo good example Brian. Not 26% of the Muslims, 26% of younger Muslims. Thanks for validating your position for me. The 'fact' you claim 'want to destroy us' is not a fact at all and is not the conclusion of your reference. Nor does it say anywhere that those 26% of immature young muslims out of the total population see it as a "means to their ends". You lied about that too.
I think the 26% are misguided but I also note that you corrupted the facts to bolster your own extreme agenda. Nothing in that questionaire asked if they want to destroy us, only if they could imagine a scenario in which attacking civilians would be justified. Not destroy us brian,. They can imagine the possibility of a scenario so extreme that it would be necessary to defend themselves but it would be rare.
Can you imagine a threat so severe that you would consider an attack on a civilian? Not me but you are more extreme than me. I know many here, definitely the faves you continually support would support such an attack and have said so.
The details of the data are this: 26 percent of younger population of U.S. Muslims believe suicide bombings against civilians to ‘defend Islam can at least rarely be justified.
Maybe we should have a study which compares the general population of America... Oh here's one that no one seems to excited about:
In December 2006 University of Maryland study — one that failed to create a similar media circus when released, and escaped a mention even now — shows that 51 percent of Americans think “bombing and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians (are) often, sometimes or rarely justified,” while 46 percent say “never justified.”
Further, 54 percent of Americans still support use of the A-bomb on Hiroshima, according to a 2005 AP poll — a decrease from 80 percent in 1945. Should we thus conclude that young Muslims are even more American since their attitudes mirror those of Americans in general? As the comparison illustrates, support for such tactics is considerably less among Muslims.
Pew Research Center Key findings include:
Overall, Muslim Americans have a generally positive view of the larger society. Most say their communities are excellent or good places to live.
<<<Do you figure that's a result of reading your thread ... Sarcasm>>>
A large majority of Muslim Americans believe that hard work pays off in this society. Fully 71% agree that most people who want to get ahead in the United States can make it if they are willing to work hard.
The survey shows that although many Muslims are relative newcomers to the U.S., they are highly assimilated into American society. On balance, they believe that Muslims coming to the U.S. should try and adopt American customs, rather than trying to remain distinct from the larger society. And by nearly two-to-one (63%-32%) Muslim Americans do not see a conflict between being a devout Muslim and living in a modern society.
<<<Gee that seems to contradict the general attitude on this thread. Why would Pew Research that you use as a reference contradict your 'truth' brian? or are the contradictions your own?>>>
Muslim Americans reject Islamic extremism by larger margins than do Muslim minorities in Western European countries.
<<<Yet you are all a twitter with your constant flow of 'truth' how they want to destroy us Is Pew a big liar
Great example brian thanks. I am sure you can do a more hypocritical job than that though. I know you wont quit trying. |
