Still a minority? UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

[cripplecreek]

Only 4 in 10? I was expecting at least 6 in 10.

[Mr. Mojo]

A slight majority – 52 percent – believe Muslims are not respectful of women.

48% need to take their heads out of the sand.

[Pukin Dog]

Its very simple.

I dont care if you are Catholic, Muslim, whatever; If you dont eat Pork, I dont trust you. If you have never had a fat-juicy perfectly smoked Pork Shoulder or slab of ribs, you are an crazy enough to blow yourself up.

[traditional1]

We need Schumer, Durbin, Reed, Clinton, Kerry, and Kennedy to go to Tehran, and sit down with the towelheads (who will be wearing their suicide belts) and negotiate a diplomatic solution (Kumbaya softly playing in the background).

Get a grip, America, these Jihadists are among us and here to kill you and your family as their goal in life.....

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Not afraid of them, but if I have trouble sleeping I just imagine myself in a room full of them, and I have a really sharp Kabar! Beats the Hell outta counting sheep!
I really do have a really sharp Kabar, BTW!
BUAIDH NO BAS!

[Cyclopean Squid]

I'm sure you could add some points to this. I'm sure some people would not tell their true feelings to a pollster with a sensative topic such as this.

[caisson71]

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

[Delphinium]

4 in 10? That is scary.

[Charlespg]

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"?

Latest article: "The Democrat Party, 1828 - 2006, R.I.P."

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

[no dems]

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

[hershey]

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.

[Dazedcat]

"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.

[Almondjoy]

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

[MIchaelTArchangel]

All one needs to do is study history from the Eighth Century onward to realize Mohammedans are murderous thugs.

[Greenpees]

So this poll says Americans "fear" and mistrust. Well, they're 50% right.

I don't fear them at all. I simply want to destroy all their Islamofacist bretheren. My fear is that U.S. dosen't seem prepared to do what is necessary in order to stop them.

And when we finally do resort to what is certain to be necessary (and we will), I have to admit, I do fear seeing what U.S. is truly capable of.

They should too.

[right wing]

Now, we'll all be sent to PC indoctrination school and forced to believe we deserve killing by our mooslim brothers.

[FreeAtlanta]

A former Muslim co-worker and friend of mine - he has now been a Christian for many years - told me that he would NEVER trust any Muslims or Islamic groups.

[Question_Assumptions]

See this article and this article. They not only illustrate how accurate many stereotypes are but give good pointers on the line between legitimate stereotype and bigotry (the latter being when an individual refuses to accept that an individual can or does have characteristics different from their group stereotype).

[kittymyrib]

USA Today must have taken this survey in a cemetery, where the respondents were brain-dead. If only 40% are suspicious of Muslims, I wouldn't want to be a neighbor to the 60% who are obviously clueless.
