Poll: Public Doubts Islam More Prone To Violence

August 24, 2010
Americans doubt that Islam is likelier than other faiths to encourage violence, but their overall view of the religion has worsened over the past five years, a poll said Tuesday.

In a survey that underlined the complex views people have about Muslims, 51 percent agreed that a Muslim center should not be built near the former site of New York's World Trade Center, compared to 34 percent who said it should be permitted.

Yet at the same time, a majority — 62 percent — said Muslims should have equal rights to build houses of worship. Just 25 percent said communities should be allowed to block the construction of mosques. The poll was conducted by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.

Islam is a knife at the throat and it is only a question of when it will be used.

I'd rather face a christian of any type in a dark alley as a Muslim Islamist.

How can anyone, in 2010 NOT believe that
Character is frequently a partial product of religion.

and character often has nothing to do with religion. people just use religion to rationalize the actions they would already be inclined to commit anyway, be it feeding the poor or blowing up buildings.

nice try, no cigar...when it comes to blowing up our buildings WHY IN GOD'S NAME GIVE THEM YOUR 'OUT'?!!

All I'm saying is that if one tallied all the acts of terrorism in the last 12 months I'm guessing there is more done by Muslims than any other group. This is not a value judgment of a religion; just an observation.

When one is reared intensely in a religion I maintain it is difficult to tell where character begins and religion ends. Are you saying that if Islamic extremists were not reared in such a way they would be violent anyway?

Abraham did love Ishmael greatly and it caused him great mental anguish and pain I think the rest of his life.

Allah is a false god and is not the God of the christian and Jewish bible.

This will happen when Islam and allah wages final war against Israel and is totally destroyed.

You are nutso. The terrorists are the enemy, not Islam.

You live in fear, not in reality.

Allah is a false god and is not the God of the christian and Jewish bible.

This will happen when Islam and allah wages final war against Israel and is totally destroyed.

Flicka your questions are rediculous and don't deserve an answer.
Paul

I don't blame the Arabs for feeling cutout of receiving Gods blessing..but God chose Isaac to carry His people forward. God did say Ishmael would become a great race of people as the sands of the sea.

Muhhamed hijacked the God of the biible and renamed him allah and wrote a bunch more idiotic laws for Muslims to follow in direct oppositon to the God of the bible.

One major wrong is in their treagtment of Jesus.

Looks as if God pegged it perfectly.

Glad my dad didn't love me that much.

Deception ran in the family. Look what Jacob did to Esau. Guess there are times we are commanded to deceive?

This is 100 per cent true except for one thing. GOD will not allow Israel to be totally destroyed.

I have none as personal friends. That is that I know of, but I have donated money to Christian Muslims in Russia.

Many Muslims have turned to Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, Flicka.

You cannot be Muslim and Christian at the same time.

But you can be called that if you are a christian converted from the Muslim faith. Christians call them that all the time, Flicka.

But I don't need to argue at some one bent on 1 upmanship. ;-)

There are some christian (weak christians) who have turned atheist and rejected God.

The Cordova Mosque just pisses me off royally, Flicka!

The finality is that Islam destroys nations and just sucks them up into sharia law. I despise that.

Spain was one for sure but have since shook off this Arab cancer somewhat. They are in progress to overtake France, Britain, parts of Africa, and various other places in the world.

Argue against that for as long as you like Flicka but it is still true.
