“So much for the Muslim propaganda slogans about Al-Qaeda not representing Islam and “hijacking the religion.”
Al Qaeda (really the larger Muslim Brotherhood, et al) haven’t “hijacked” islam.......they have only re-activated its longstanding covenant against all others. Simple as that.
I have never before seen the don’t know category assumed for one of the choices.
A couple of points
1 I am always amazed the we sing the praises of polls that support a position he hold (no matter who puts it out, I would hazzard a guess that most Freepers would consider Pew Research Center leftist, cerntinly left of center) and call into question the motives and methods of those polls we don’t agree with or those that say things we don’t like (example 65% of Americans don’t support the war in Iraq)
2 (More than one in four Muslims (or 26%), aged 18-29, said “Suicide Bombing is Justified.”)
Wouldn’t that mean that 74% don’t think this?
( 12% of foreign-born Arab Muslims said that “Suicide Bombing Can be Justified Often/Sometimes)
That would mean that 88% don’t
(8% of all U.S. Muslims said suicide bombing is justified)
92% don’t agree.
So what do these number tell us?
1) We’ve still got some work to do, but then we’ll always have so work to do. That’s why God gives us two arms a strong back and a brain.
2) The majority of Muslim/American DON’T support the jihadists, Very good news, these number are much better than those found on Muslims not liveing here (10-15% according to Daniel Pipes)
Ranting and raveing screaming round em up ship em out (ie becoming a Michael Savage clone) dose nothing but provide aid and comfort to OBL and the jihadists.
