More proof that Muslims are not as warm and fuzzy as Jafar and liberals would have you believe. Muslims have no problem telling the truth why do libs have a problem admitting the truth?




A new global survey of Muslims by the Pew Research Center has found that Palestinian Arab Muslims polled the highest in favor of suicide bombings as a justifiable means “to defend Islam.”


Most Muslims reject suicide bombing and other attacks against civilians, but a substantial minority in many counties—including 40 percent in Palestine, 39 percent in Afghanistan, 26 percent in Bangladesh, 29 percent in Egypt, 15 percent in Jordan and 15 percent in Turkey—view attacks against civilians as a legitimate means to defending Islam against its enemies.


Few U.S. Muslims voice support for suicide bombing or other forms of violence against civilians in the name of Islam. Eighty one percent say such acts are never justified to defend Islam, 7 percent say it’s “sometimes” justified and 1 percent it is “often justified.” to defend Islam. (do we have the ability to compare to the general support for suicide bombings among non-Muslim Americans? Did Pew poll that?)


Even a small minority of Muslims (1%) worldwide translates to 15 million believers - which is hardly an insignificant number.


Muslim-Americans who identify more strongly with their religion are three times more likely to feel that suicide bombings are justified Fifty eight percent of American Muslims rejected al-Qaeda outright, 5 % have a favorable view of al-Qaeda and 27% percent couldn’t make up their minds of the terrorist organization.


“It takes a village to make a suicide bomber it’s not just one person waking up and wants to be a suicide bomber, they must be recruited and groomed by Islamic extremist organizations that prepare them, train them and lead them to a target,”,the Heritage Foundation's Middle East analyst James Phillips told Townhall.
“I think that would be one of the most powerful factors is the presence of Islamic extremist organization that is bent on using suicide bombers as a strategy and then they prepare the ground and in some ways brain wash young people to do their bidding,” he said.


More than half of Muslims in most countries surveyed say they are concerned about religious extremist groups in their country, including two-thirds or more of Muslims in Egypt (67%), Tunisia (67%), Iraq (68%), Guinea Bissau (72%) and Indonesia (78%).


The poll also examined Muslim views on the following topics: Homosexuality, women's rights, Sharia Law, and honor killing.


A majority of Muslims in Afghanistan (78%) and Iraq (76%) don’t believe in a woman's right to decide whether or not to veil her face and condone extra-judicial executions of women who allegedly have ‘shamed their families’ by engaging in premarital sex or adultery.


Eighty nine percent of Palestinian Muslims favored think women must always "obey" their husband and favor the imposition of Sharia Law into their society.
Countries in southeastern Asia, the former U.S.S.R., southeastern Europe and western North Africa have significantly higher opposition to honor killings.

Think about how and why this is not common knowledge in this country. Then consider how much power it takes from the leftist /muslim alliance here to keep it so well hidden.
The fact that even with great effort to prove the truth about Islam we fail more often than we succeed.
Why the hell should a great truth about such a terrible threat be this hard to get cross???-Tyr

I was waiting for our resident terrorist lovers (LR, Rev, and FU) to jump on the thread and start offering up the usual lame defenses

I am sure in thime they might offer up examples as to how America drove them to adopt such beliefs

Look at the wording of the poll. They think suicide bombing a bunch of civilians is defending islam. That's not defending anything, it's out right murder of innocents. islam needs to be eradicated, plain and simple.
