Almost seven out 10 Democrats believe Islam “encourages violence… about the same as other religions,” according to a new CBS poll.
The trusting attitude towards Islam is revealed in the February 2017 poll follows 17 tumultuous years of attacks against Americans motivated or shaped by Islamic ideology throughout the United States—from the 9/11 atrocity to the Pulse nightclub attack in Florida committed by an observant, orthodox Muslim man from a Muslim family.
Merely one-in-seven Democrats believe that Islam is more violent than other religions, such as Christianity, Mormonism, Judaism, and Buddhism. One-in-ten Democrats believe that Islam is less violent that other religions, according to the poll of 1,019 adults, which was taken Feb. 1 and Feb. 2.
In contrast, Republicans have a far colder view of Islam. Sixty-three percent of Republicans view Islam as aggressive compared to other religions, and only two percent view Islam as more pacific than other faiths.

The Koran, in contrast, is deemed by Islam’s adherents to be a direct transcript of Allah’s many commands, including these belligerent commandments
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.
Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.
So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens."
Former President Barack Obama and other leaders in the Democratic Party have repeatedly suggested that Islam is not more violent than other religions. Obama told Muslims in February 2016 that Islam means “peace,” although it actually means “submission.”
Similarly, a Feb. 3 letter signed by three senior Democratic legislators in the House argued that “there are other three million Americans who practice Islam peacefully. The specter that there would be a Federal program that—in name and action—singles out people of a particular faith warrants immediate [critical] consideration by the Department of Justice.”
Progressive and left-wing activists say much violence is caused by Christians, although few make the argument that the violence is motivated Christian doctrines.
“However, and this will probably shock many, so you might want to take a breath: Overwhelmingly, those who have committed terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe aren’t Muslims,” according to a Daily Beast column emphasizing the role of European nationalist groups in terrorism rates.
The other third have already been beheaded by the ROP.
100% of the surveyed do not really understand either Isalm or Christianity.
DemocRATS hate Christians so I can understand them feeling this way.
Delusion runs deep on The Left
I am so tired of hearing this ridiculous argument.
Yes, there was the Inquisition. But that was long, long ago.
Please show, Dems, of how Islam has done as much for the poor around the world, how it has raised money for charity, cared for people, given selflessly to others, as Christians throughout the world have done.
Not possible.
That slapping sound you hear is from high-fives given in public school teacher lounges.
In their hearts they know it’s not true.
WOW! I have been a Christian for 66 years and have never built a bomb, blown anyone up, shot anyone, beheaded anyone, burned anyone alive, etc etc etc.
This coming from the same party , that at their convention, they "Boo"d the name of God.
Don't forget that in the scriptures, Lucifer is called : "The Deceiver", which means only partial truths leading to perdition.
Islamic terrorist killed over 20k people last year alone. How many did Christians kill?
Just google keywords muslim Christian along with torture violence attacks terror rape gays women children abuse oppression etc. And you will get thousands of hits, 100% of which mooslims are the attackers perpetrators and Christians are the victims. Idiots.
Huh?
How to interpret this nonsense? I think its a combination of pure hatred of Christianity as the “Republican / conservative” religion in America, combined with Political Correctness being beaten into them over and over.
The Rats have been “educated” that it’s acceptable to hate Christians, call them the Taliban and all manner of name.
The Islamic jihadists, they steer way clear. Wonder why?
Christians always turn the other cheek.
The key is Christians have only two cheeks.
After that, tuck your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.
