WASHINGTON - Believing in ‘Allah’ is worse than believing in no god at all, according to a recent study that surveyed U.S. residents.
The study from sociologists at the University of Minnesota who compared Americans’ perceptions of minority faith and racial groups found that Muslims are now more unpopular than both atheists and homosexuals.
But the study marks a grimmer milestone — Americans’ disapproval of Muslims has jumped to 45.5 percent from just over 26 percent 10 years ago, the last time the question was asked, just a few years after the September 11 attacks.
Almost half of those surveyed — 48.9 percent — said they would disapprove of their child marrying a Muslim, up from 33.5 percent in 2006.
Atheists are disapproved by 41.9 percent of those surveyed, up less than two percent from ten years ago. Homosexuals meanwhile are disliked by 29.4 percent of those surveyed.
What’s stunning about the research is nearly every group saw drastic increases in dislikes, including Conservative Christians, Hispanics, Jews and African American. Residents also share significant animosity towards Immigrants. 10 years ago when the survey asked about the particular group, only 12.5 percent said they were disliked.
Today, that number has more than doubled to 25.6 percent. The findings depict a tense political climate in the U.S. Hussein Rashid, an adjunct professor at Barnard College who frequently writes and consults about Islam in the U.S., said the jump in anti-Islamic sentiment the study pinpoints is reflected in the current political rhetoric. “The data from this survey shows that there is an increasing pull away from the promise of America,” he said in an email. “In 10 years, people have a more negative perception of Muslims, Jews, gays, Latinos, and Blacks. As a new America is taking shape, with all its diversity, there is a reactionary response that wants a mythic America of everyone being exactly the same.”
The study was written from data collected in 2014 from 2,500 participants. It was published in the current issue of Social Forces journal. The previous study was published in 2006 by three of the same authors.
Shocking what regular terrorist attacks and beheadngs will do to one’s reputation/s

Because Allah is Satan
Thanks, Obama!
The Muslims will get rid of the atheists and homosexuals.
Don’t muslims want to kill all atheists and homosexuals even more than jews?

He sounds like a loyal mindless liberal. Yep, issues with perceptions of Islam, according to him, are all about political rhetoric, and resistance to the dream of diversity.
Beheadings, terrorist attacks, burning people alive, throwing people such as homosexuals off of tall buildings — none of that feeds into people’s perceptions of Islam. It’s all overheated political rhetoric, and we who feel that way violate the promise of America.
Okay..............
Oh my gosh, this poor guy is doubly hated
The actions of the 98% give the 2% a bad reputation.
Hey muzzies, you’ve earned it. Now own it.

I think you are right.
And considering that, it still saddens and amazes me, that the liberals and the media reaction to Orlando was to push gun control. The fact that the Orlando massacre was the biggest Muslim terrorist attack in this country since 9/11, and the fact that the perpetrator targeted the homosexual community, seemed lost on the media.
Last I looked neither atheists or homos were blowing people up or chopping their heads off. That *might* have a wee bit to do with it.
No. They want to kill those who refuse to submit to Allah.
Disliked? What’s there to dislike about animals who use airplanes to crash into buildings?
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.
...and yet, I see more of these Moslems around here than homos and atheists put together....(as in, yes, their growth here has been alarming in just a few years)
Re : Post #2 ~ Shocking what regular terrorist attacks and beheadings will do to one’s reputation/s ~

Charles Baudelaire ping!
This FL mass murder clearly pointed out that Moslems are now ranked #1 on the preferred groups list.
Unbelievable, after the gigantic atrocity of 9/11.
