Can't imagine why
Islam and Scientology at the bottom.
The survey pegged things just about right.
ROP is awesome! Beheadings! Suicide Bombers! Murder, rape of Infidels! Riots over cartoons! All converts to Christianity are killed!
Why would anyone have any issues with any of that?
EU officials are discreetly reviewing" the language it uses to describe terrorists who claim to act in the name of Islam. EU officials are working on what they call a lexicon for public communication on terrorism and Islam, designed to make clear that there is nothing in the religion to justify outrages like the Sept. 11 attacks or the bombings of Madrid and London. The lexicon would set down guidelines for EU officials and politicians.
They really need to work on their PR. Televised beheadings are murder on ratings...
thats 20% that have yet to catch on
I think they just need a better PR guy to put a little better spin on all those. Perhaps if they just renamed some of those things it might help. Maybe the MSM can start referring to beheadings as 'spiritial growth' or something a bit more positive anyways.
There is some 20% who will never catch on. I am kind of surprised it is that low. Usually there is abou 25% of the Hate America First crowd that can blame everything on America. You know like Cindy Sheheen who blames America for her sons deaths, not the goons who actually killed him.
Is that 19% of the American public Muslim or just ignorant (or stupid)? I'm surprised it's not less than Scientology.
The number should be in the high 70%, but the press has taken it upon itself to lie and convince the American people that Islam is the religion of peace. Islam has the doctrine to either convert or kill anyone who is not Islam and now they are even killing their own. The "Honor" rapes and killings are just another indication of their "peaceful" religion.
Heads will roll over this.
Love the graphic - yet in another thread and elsewhere on the web every day we get lefties using the Bush = Nazi drivel.
Let's see...
1) Democracy and elections that really aren't
2) Use of paramilitary forces to strongarm any government holdouts
3) Intimidation/shutdown of critical media
4) Propaganda that promises a sense of belonging but eventually turns to violence and murder for not joining the cause
5) Setting up an imaginary enemy/oppressor as a rallying cry
Germany in 1933 or the Islamic movement in 2006?
Do these numbers seem low to the rest of you?
Less than half had a favorable impression of Judaims and Catholocism?
That's pretty screwed up.
Religion of peace my arse BUMP!
Nothing like 30+ years of unfavorable treatment in the mass media, to drive down the numbers.
If all you ever heard about was Jim and Tammy Faye Baker, the worst quotes of Jerry Falwell taken out of context, pedophile priests, etc., you might get a bad impression, too.
Good heavens! All one has to do is look at the history of Islam to see what its roots are, what its tenets are, the lives of the majority of people under it, the lives of non-Muslims under it...what's to like?
