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.

The study’s authors — sociologists Penny Edgell, Douglas Hartmann, Evan Stewart and Joseph Gerteis — describe the jump in disapproval of Muslims as a major change and are focusing now on identifying reasons for it.

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.

But that’s only a few of them, and they are not hazards to navigation!!!! And it can be explained by normal rates of immigration.

What has been happening in the central city is HUMUNGOUS, and needs an explanation!!!!

It is easier for me to cut some slack for a fool claims there is no God but thinks he is than a bigger fool who worships Satan while calling him al-Lah.

The study’s authors . . . describe the jump in disapproval of Muslims as a major change and are focusing now on identifying reasons for it.

I cannot imagine what would cause this change, other than exposure to more Muslims and exposure to the actions of Muslim terrorists.

I saw the Trump event in Laconia NH last night on RightSide, including some of the “pregame”.

There seemed to be a lot of Trump supporters from Massachusetts—especially Millennials—attending the event. Some of them were right from Boston!

Wouldn’t it be nice if all those [probably stealth] supporters from MA would come out on November 8th, and give us all a YUGE surprise?

Such a thing is quite likely to happen with Michigan, were it will be driven by all those muslim “refugees” that obama is sending there. We’ll see about MA!!

“the jump in disapproval of Muslims as a major change and are focusing now on identifying reasons for it.”

I would like to have some grant money to study that mystery.

I suspect a whole lot of people were afraid to answer that poll question honestly. That being the case, the real disapproval # is a lot higher than 45%.
