CBS poll: Two-thirds of Democrats say Islam and Christianity are equally violent

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.

Gee, just the other day I was sitting in the pews as the minister urged us all to take up the sword, go to the Middle East and slaughter every Amalekite man, woman, and child.

Oh wait, that never happens.

Seriously?

Let’s do a comparisln between Christianity and Islam:

Question #1: How many people did Mohammed kill? How many slaves did Mohammed own/and or and sell? How many women did Mohammed rape?

Question #2: How many people did Jesus kill? How many slaves did Jesus own? How many women did Jesus rape?

And 100% of democrats say that national socialism is the answer!

And people wonder where the communists and NAZIs found their enforcers and henchmen.

Commumists and socialist/fascists pray on the weak-minded.

I suspect that the two thirds are mentally trapped in a time warp centuries ago (though they may be prophetic..., who knows?)

Just goes to show the lack of knowledge of both Islam and Christianity. At least one, if not both (with the current pope blessing the spread of Islam), the fault of the church.

That’s like saying that Norwegians are as warlike as Islamists because of Vikings.

But a full three thirds (3/3) of Democrats (that is 100% for those who are math challenged) are terminally stupid.

“100% of the surveyed do not really understand either Islam or Christianity.”

Mega dittoes.

Islam is the younger brother of whatever impulses led to the rise and spread of Christianity, with serious birth defects that occurred when it was aborning. Mohammed Ali, a sun-crazed old schizophrenic, reinterpreted the vast store of religious tracts and writings that existed at the time, then wrote his own version of the Creation story, discarding huge portions of much of the accumulated teachings of both the Old Testament and the New Testament, making only cursory references to “Issa” (Jesus) and ignoring altogether the long historical record of the Jewish people. Nowhere in that screed called the Koran is there any reference to either the Ten Commandments, or to the Golden Rule. The successful and favored son of Abraham was not Isaac, father of the Jewish people, but Ishmael, common ancestor to the various Arabic people. There were various cults that grew up in the ancient times, directly competing with the monotheistic notion of religion, one of which was worship of Moloch, demanding that children were to be cast into furnaces, and to whom sacrifices of even some adults were to be made. Somehow Moloch was conflated with a twisted version of the God of Abraham, and the result was Allah, a most bloodthirsty deity that demands strict and unwavering fealty, enforced by bearded men with burning eyes.

Islam is in SERIOUS need of Reformation.

They’re probably talking about the Crusades, desperately looking for some false equivalency.

They know damn well that in modern times Christians are not violent. If they were afraid of Christians, Hollywood and stand up comics wouldn’t constantly be mocking them.

It’s like when Sting referred to the Tea Party as violent, even though there was absolutely no violence at Tea Party rallies, but tons of violence at Occupy Wall St, among other Left wing protests.

They just slap a label on something....Bush is Hitler, Trump is Hitler, the Israelis are Apartheid Nazis, blah blah blah. Whatever it takes to affirm their worldview in their little social bubbles.

...Two-thirds of Democrats say Islam and Christianity are equally violent

So, why does the left persecute Christians across the board on social issues?

Answer: Because they are NOT afraid of retaliation and KNOW that Christians are not violent like Islam.
