I think the worlds problems could be solved over a few slabs of baby-backs and a case of Guinness.

Also, 22 percent of those surveyed said they would not like to have a Muslim as a neighbor.

I don't even want them in the country

[Congressman Billybob]

What a bullsh*t series of polling questions to ask. Gallup was around in 1942. Did they ask Americans then whether they "disliked" Nazis or Japs? If Americans said yes to that question, would it be called "prejudice"?

Please see my most recent new statement on running for Congress, here.

[SoCalConservative]

Amen to that! Their silence in our Country astounds me, they are doing themselves NO favors by keeping their collective mouths shut when it comes to denouncing terrorism.

[no dems]

If Hillary gets into the White House, all of these percentages will climb; fer sho.

Ahem. I don't eat pork (okay, except for the occasional slice of bacon) because I can't digest it properly unless it's very very well done (like bacon). Are you saying you don't trust me? Does this mean you're not going to loan me that $100 we discussed earlier?

*cry*

News tonight on Fox covering polling in the past weeks showing dems have a good shot at retaking control of congress. I suspect that will change as events of today begin to sink in and people realize what the dems stand for.

"40 percent of respondents said they believe Muslims in the U.S. are not respectful of other religions, and 44 percent said Muslims are too extreme in their religious beliefs."

The more things happen in the world, the more this percentage will go up. This is a good thing indeed.

The muslims will eventually hang themselves given enough rope by their "bretheren". I'm not worried at all, in fact these percentages are more than I hoped for and expected.

Pity the congress critters aren't hearing the people on this.

[CremeSaver]

I would bet that the numbers are a lot higher than this. People are very squeamish about answering questions like these. That old PC thing and all.

[Huck]

lol

[Pukin Dog]

$100.00?

Why you no-pork eating prevaricator!

Save yourself before it gets any worse, get some Maalox, and eat some PORK.

[Old Student]

"Sentiment against Muslims are only going to get worse until we start hearing loud Muslim condemnations of terrorist activities."

Just about the first thing said on this thread that I agree with. I've heard some, but not NEARLY enough! (CAIR, you guys listening? Get busy and TALK! Or leave.)

I don't
The GOP is pathetic on getting out and staying on message

Looking at the polls the boobs will probably move to the left

[Almondjoy]

I love these threads.. I get to see all the bigots and idiots in their true setting.

[Dazedcat]

Yes, you're probably right. I guarantee you, if one more terrorist attack happens on American soil it'll be open season. I don't condone violence, but I really do think it'll happen. People have had enough.

Then we'll see what the true percentages are.

[Pukin Dog]

I'll bet sometimes you feel like a nut?

[Mr. Mojo]

Vincent Vega: Want some bacon?
Jules Winnfield: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfk/r. Pigs sleep and root in sh/t. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own feces."

[Almondjoy]

Always!

I don't understand. Are you calling everyone on this thread a bigot and idiot?

If so, why do you even dirty yourself by posting at FR?

[elcid1970]

Does suspicion about the intentions of Islamofascists, and suspicion about the silence of `ordinary Muslims' equate to bigotry or idiocy?
