Nearly half of those polled say they have become more skeptical about Islam as a religion after the global uproar around the Mohammed caricatures.
The result comes from a survey carried out by InFact for Norway's best-selling newspaper VG.
According to the survey, which was carried out on Tuesday, 47.8 percent of those asked said they were more skeptical about Islam, while 36.7 percent their opinion of the religion had not been affected by the caricature controversy. A small group of 6.5 percent said they were less skeptical about Islam after the turmoil.
At the same time, 30.8 percent say that they have become more mistrustful towards Norwegian Muslims after the caricature reactions, while 53.6 percent say their attitude towards this group has not been affected. About 6.8 percent said they were less suspicious of Norwegian Muslims after the controversy.
Fully seven out of ten polled said they expected Muslims in Norway to have a harder time in the wake of the international controversy.
Progress.
Wake Up Europe!
Makes you wonder about the people who fell into the 6.5% grouping.
With good reason. Islam is a cult that teaches submission to the point of gladly blowing yourself up to kill the infidels. It is a death cult!
"About 6.8 percent said they were less suspicious of Norwegian Muslims after the controversy."
no accounting for how people read the news is there?
What does 'sceptical' mean???
yes, much progress. I've stirred up the pot on Libertyforum.org with these posts. It's time that more progress is sought after.
Islamic nutballs?
Welcome to the party.
I could sit around for a year trying to come up with a plan that would expose how absurd islam has become - and never could have dreamt of a situation more perfect than this "cartoon crisis".
Lets face it - and I know it hurts to admit - even Rove couldn't have planned this. >:P
It's like skeptical, only spelt correctly.
The Danes sent the 10th largest deployment to Iraq (as of a listing I saw last year). They are an ally.
