26% of Muslims = Terrorists

[Major-n0ob]

According to a recent poll, 26% of US Muslims believe that homicidal terrorism is justified in defense of Islam, and many of them identify themselves as muslims first and Americans second. Here is the source:

Does anyone else see this as disturbing? I know 6 US muslims myself...one or two may be terrorists!!!11

"According to recent polls,"www.cnn.com said on today's front-page article at www.cnn.com, "It is entirely reasonable to believe a poll made by people who haven't interviewed every single Muslim." A newsreporter stated. "We've also conducted a poll, and 90% of people voted that associating a specific Religion and/or race with cliche and stereotypical medium's is not only f*$&ing stupid, but also shows how little our human species is as a whole." - CNN.com 5/23/07

Nothing you can really do about it, though. People are entitled to their own beliefs.

OK... I don't know what's worse... the fact that you go to church or the fact that you took anything a Christian priest said seriously.

You do realize he said pastor and not priest. You seem to come out as the ignorant one in this argument.

[HeartbreakHoldout]

That article is horribly took out of context and overhyped.
26% of young muslims, think that terrorism is at least rarely acceptable. 2% voted that it's often acceptable, which is a significant amount less that the article would have you believe.
Also, it was a survey of over 1000 muslims, which isn't going to be consistent with the whole population of muslims.
And, they displayed it as a bad thing that people would call themselves Muslim over American, which is ridiculous. Being proud of your religion, or at least not patriotic, isn't terrorism.

musluims are okay but christians i'm not to shure about............

[skatin-andy]

It doesn't say they think violence is always the answer, it says that 26% of Muslims believe in certain circumstances, violence is okay to defend Islam.

Still, its kinda scary.

Polls are stupid and contain no valid information

Why do you say that? Christians have not gone and blown up Mcdonalds. Moreover...this foxnews survey shows that any Muslim American near you could be planning a terrorist plot!

[fuzzies]

wow, shut the fuck up.
just because you're muslim doesn't mean you can talk shit about them.

holy fuck.

Age: 19//Job: street performer

And I'm not too sure as to why you're sucking cock (the cum is in the eyes, I get it. It's happened to me before) on the street while browsing the internet at 19 years old, sir.

[OrbitalDebris]

Not even looking at the source behind the poll (cuz lets face it: FoxNews is about hype), you have to look at context and wording in any kind of poll. It was done on young muslims and the question said 'rarely.'

[Rallard]

THIS IS A GOOD REASON FOR RACIAL PROFILING.

Good luck passing the Van Allen's belt.

[SouthAsian]

Now that is a huge problem. Im against this act of violence against civilians.Suicide bombings or homicide bombings as they are becoming more known as are completely un justifiable. this is absolutely stupid, as a Muslim.those people need to understand the subject more at hand.

I love my religion very much because of it's encouragment to be with God and only God. I think God is higher than any nation. but I still love my country where I was born.

[SouthAsian]

Damn I just noticed it was a FOX news poll.

that explains everything.

What?.. This can't be. This completely defies and denies the thoughts of and morals of those who believe in Allah. We must act. We cannot take this!
