A majority say that they view Islam unfavorably, and even Democrats are almost twice as likely to view Islam negatively than positively
One week ago the United States saw the deadliest terrorist attack it has seen since 9/11, after 14 people were killed in San Bernadino by Syed Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik. In the wake of the attack Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump took his most aggressively anti-Muslim stance so far by calling for Muslims to be barred from entry into the United States. Though the United States has millions of Muslims, anti-Muslim sentiment has become increasingly common in public discourse.
YouGov/HuffPost's latest research shows that most Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Islam. 58% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Islam, and just over a third (35%) say that they have a 'very unfavorable' opinion of the religion. Only 17% of Americans view it positively. Democrats (27%) are the most likely to have a favorable opinion of Islam, but even they tend to say that they view Islam negatively. Among independents (58%) and Republicans (75%) most people have a negative view of Islam.

‘The whole earth has been declared unto me a mosque’ (Muhammad: Sahih Muslim, Book 004, Number 1062).
‘The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.’(Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Prime Minister of Turkey since 2003.)
| TRUMP'S PROPOSAL TO TEMPORARILY HALT ALL ISLAMIC ENRTRY INTO THE U.S. Regarding the proposal by Trump to temporarily halt all Islamic entry into the United States, there is a lot of hype, misinformation, ignorance, and out and out lies being circulated in an attempt to slam Trump. So, what is the truth of the matter? Is Trump's proposal illegal? Is his proposal un-Constitutional? Is his proposal un-American?
Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. This is in the U.S. Code of Laws. It was passed by Congress in 1952 and has been the law of the land ever since. And, by the way, at the time it was passed by a Democratic Congress. So, to be clear, if the President determines that murders/killers/enemies are infiltrating any group of people to do harm to America, he has been given the power by Congress to stop or restrict that groups immigration or non-immigration status and ability to come into the country by proclamation. This is precisely what Trump has proposed…and for obvious reasons. It is NOT un-American, it is U.S. Law. It is NOT un-Constitutional, Article 6 Paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution regarding no religious test refers specifically and only to the election of Congress...not to immigration. As President, Donald Trump would have full legal authority under U.S. Law to do exactly what he has proposed. All of the hype, outrage, and statements to the contrary are either political grandstanding, abject ignorance of the law, or willful lies regarding the issue. |
The “Unfavorable” are higher than reported because of Political Correctness.
Probably that way since 911.
A sign of a growing angry backlash.
Muslim (Islam) culture, religion, and closed society, drive the overwhelming numbers of Muslims to remain unassimilated in Non-Muslim nations. Once they immgrate to a non-Muslim nation......they linger and live together....because their culture & religion demands that they first, avoid & then “destroy’ infidels that will not convert to Islam!!! This standard operating procedure is now actively working in Europe and the United States of America!!! Violence has now taken its historical course in both Europe & the USA....and because of “progressive” politics....both Europe and the USA are ill prepared to handle the “slaughter” that is afoot!!! America, Americans, all...ya all better wake up....hell is about to break loose on you & your families in the USA!!! It is simply as clear as the nose on your face!! Forget Obama...he is with them (The Muslims)...forget the Repubilcan Establishment RINOS....they are in bed and cahoots with Obama ....and his Democrat vermin!!!
You only got two folks to count on....Donald Trump & Ted Cruz!!! You better get real, real quick!!!
What’s to like?
You’re right. There is a quiet rage out there. More and more people are fed up.
Gee, just because we infidels are to be given a choice between conversion, slavery or death? Damn, we Americans are a closed-minded lot. Oh, yeah, before I forget: ISLAM DELENDA EST!
“What is best in life?” To smite the jihadists, to drive their mullahs before you, and to hear the lamentations of the 0bama media! Allahu Fubar!
The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam
John Quincy Adams on Islam
In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.
Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).
