Muslims in America are much less inclined to support suicide bombing than other Muslims abroad, and are more likely to believe that people of other faiths can attain eternal life in heaven, according to a new report released Tuesday (April 30) by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

“The World’s Muslims” report looks at Muslim views across seven categories: Islamic law; religion and politics; morality; women; relations among Muslims; interfaith relations; and religion, science, and pop culture. There is also a special section on U.S. Muslims.

Of the countries surveyed, only a majority of Muslims in America — 56 percent — believe people of other faiths can go to heaven; by contrast, that figure among U.S. Christians is about 64 percent. U.S. Muslims are also less likely than Muslims abroad to believe in evolution, sharing views that are closer to those of U.S. Christians.

On suicide bombing, 81 percent of U.S. Muslims said it was never justified, 7 percent said it was justified to “defend Islam,” and 1 percent said it was “sometimes justified.”

If they follow islam then they are a danger to civilization. islam is an evil death cult. They either follow the that or they are not really muslims.

[Travis McGee]

Yeah, we get the modern hipster cool moderate Muslims.

What a load of baloney.I have first-hand experience with an American Muslim with an American nick name. This is an American citizen, a retiree from major American corporation, a home owner in an upper middle class neighborhood; in fact, the neighborhood watch captain! I happened to have a discussion with him during which 9/11 came up. I was not surprised when he launched into a defense of the attack; that is, if it was committed by Muslims, which he doubted. He further posited that Bush and/or the Jews may have been behind it. He also insisted that 9/11 occurred only after Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and was thus justified.I could not dissuade him from this ignorant nonsense and brought out exchange to a quick close after that.He had become very agitated and it was obvious that his lies had never been contradicted before.

5 million muslims in US (est). 7% equals 350,000 people who are okay with suicide bombing.

[driftdiver]

Thats because they have such a small percentage of the population.

It’s called taquayeh (I know I misspelled it), the moslim doctrine of lying to gain advantage over ones enemies.

All moslems are terrorists and no moslem can ever be trusted. Their religion COMMANDS them to lie and it COMMANDS them to commit terrorism (attacks on innocents)

There's no such group as moderate muslims. There are "muslims in waiting" while the terrorists clear out new territory. Then the rest wash the women and childrens blood into the street and move into the new area. Look at the history of islam.? Where were the "moderates" while 250 MILLION innocents died

[Hardraade]

I have a very paranoid question for you all.

Is it possible that when the US was supplied with African slaves by muslim slave traders, that this was a forward-looking plan for a sneak invasion of coming muslim militants?

We may have underestimated the malignancy and time horizon of islam quite a bit.

Liberals will protect Muslims, no matter what the cost, because its all part of their “diversity is our strength” crap that is designed to destroy America.
