Almost seven out 10 Democrats believe Islam “encourages violence… about the same as other religions,” according to a new CBS poll.
The trusting attitude towards Islam is revealed in the February 2017 poll follows 17 tumultuous years of attacks against Americans motivated or shaped by Islamic ideology throughout the United States—from the 9/11 atrocity to the Pulse nightclub attack in Florida committed by an observant, orthodox Muslim man from a Muslim family.
Merely one-in-seven Democrats believe that Islam is more violent than other religions, such as Christianity, Mormonism, Judaism, and Buddhism. One-in-ten Democrats believe that Islam is less violent that other religions, according to the poll of 1,019 adults, which was taken Feb. 1 and Feb. 2.
In contrast, Republicans have a far colder view of Islam. Sixty-three percent of Republicans view Islam as aggressive compared to other religions, and only two percent view Islam as more pacific than other faiths.
Former President Barack Obama and other leaders in the Democratic Party have repeatedly suggested that Islam is not more violent than other religions. Obama told Muslims in February 2016 that Islam means “peace,” although it actually means “submission.”

I'm on the far right, and i detest Islam. But I hold all forms of organized religion in very low regard. They are all dangerous. Islam however seems to be holding onto the #1 position for dangerous lunatics.
When your news station constantly refers to Islam as terrorism they become synonymous in the minds of the weak. Not surprised to hear this. Have had many positive interactions with Muslim people throughout my life. It's when anyone becomes radical that it becomes a problem. Man has done terrible things in the name of religion.
Apparently the majority of Democrats have not read the Quran or read much about the teachings of Islam. They definitely are not aware that according to Muhammad women are considered chanel, that is the same as a cow,donkey or goat, nothing more than property to be dealt with as they, the Muslim men, see fit! That is to be sold,traded or disposed of at their leisure or whim. To divorce a wife all he needs to do is say 'I divorce you' three times and so it is! How is that anywhere near being on par with any other recognised religion? Then again most Democrats either don't know how or bother not to read anything...Pelosi- "We must pass it to see what is in it!" Meaning have someone else tell them!
islam is a cult, not a religion. Anytime one must submit or die....thats you sign, not to mention pedophilia, slaves, abuse of women...the list is long really. 99% of democrats are flat out liars, clearly none of these liars has so much as read the Ten Commandments much less read the Bible, or they'd never made such a comment!
Islam is Tolerant
of Other ReligionThe Myth:
Religious minorities have flourished under Islam. Muslims are commanded to protect Jews and Christians (the People of the Book) and do no harm to them. In Sura 109, the Quran says, "To you, your religion. To me, mine."
The Truth:
Religious minorities have not “flourished” under Islam. In fact, they always dwindle to mere shadows after a few centuries of persecution and discrimination. Some were converted from their native religion by brute force, others under the agonizing strain of dhimmitude.
What Muslims call “tolerance,” others correctly identify as institutionalized discrimination. The consignment of Jews and Christians to dhimmis under Islamic rule means that they are not allowed the same religious rights and freedoms as Muslims. They cannot share their faith, for example, or build houses of worship without permission.

You are just as much a dumb idiot as the Democrats are.

You are a traitor. Their is no such thing as radical Islam. They all bad. All of them.
One must pay Islam to be a follower of any other religion in a Muslim controlled country. It's the law of Mohammed, the desert warrior false prophet.
"In the minds of the weak." Interesting how you found it necessary to belittle in order to make your point. Mine i's not an uniformed opinion.
I believe the majority of democrats have mental issues, they are being indoctrinated into the whacko beliefs of truely mentally disturbed people.
The Crusades were just a friendly group of people going across the lands introducing others to the joys christianity.
Tens of thousands of people (both soldiers and civilians) were killed in the conquest of Jerusalem. The Crusaders themselves suffered; historians estimate that only one in 20 survived to even reach the Holy Land. It is estimated that 1.7 million people died in total.
Just another religion of peace.
Whoa 549pm, "...truly mentally disturbed.." describes a welfare community in the US. No need to add to the list we must pay via taxes....
the insanity!
After military conquests, Muhammad would dole out captured women as war prizes to his men. In at least one case, he advocated that they be raped in front of their husbands. Captured women were made into sex slaves by the very men who killed their husbands and brothers. There are four Quranic verses in which "Allah" makes clear that a Muslim master has full sexual access to his female slaves, yet there is not one that prohibits rape.
The Quran gives Muslim men permission to beat their wives for disobedience, but nowhere does it order love in marriage (although it does say that "love" exists). The verses plainly say that husbands are “a degree above” their wives. The Hadith says that women are intellectually inferior, and that they comprise the majority of Hell’s occupants.
most Shriners have no idea about the symbolism portrayed on the red fez hats they proudly wear. Each red Fez worn by the Shriners has on the front an Islamic sword and crescent moon prominently displayed and encrusted with jewels. The crescent moon is the most common Islamic symbol. In fact, it is found on the top of every Muslim mosque around the world and on the flags of many Islamic nations. The crescent moon represents the god of Islam, Allah, who was the pagan moon deity of Mohammed's tribe, the Quraysh of Arabia. When Mohammed conquered Mecca in Saudi Arabia by force in 630 A.D. he destroyed all of the 360 pagan tribal deities in the Kaaba and set up his tribal deity, the moon god, Allah, as the chief deity of Arabia. Later, when he tried to convince the Jews and Christians of Arabia to worship Allah, they refused, knowing the true identity of Allah, and Mohammed then began his bloody conquest of the Arabian peninsula, slaughtering thousands by the sword, the very same Islamic sword celebrated on the Shriner's red fez!
Well 4:07pm...in this country even irrational, condescending religious zealots are entitled to speak your mind. I fought for that in Gulf 1 and I will believe in it to my last breath. All the while, I detest people like you just the same.
Extremely well said!!
But 4:07 can't speak his mind?
It's just your average, run-of-the-mill peaceful religion, once you adjust the stats by removing honor killings, suicide bombers, chopping the heads off of infidels (anyone not in the 'club'), jihadis, throwing gays off buildings, and killing other members of the faith with a different spin (Shia v Sunni).
Nothing to see here; move, on peasant.
Has anyone read or heard about a violent buddhist?

The only mistake from the crusades was not to have totally wiped out the Muslims . Christians then as today were and are fighting for their existence. We are being targeted by the Left Muslim supporting fools who believe the brainwashing rants of even bigger fools.
The Crusades were not about killing because we were Christians it was about surviving because you were a Christian. Today we are bieng put in the same situation. We must fight to survive.
Great article.
Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to make a superb article… but what can I say…
I hesitate a lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.
What a material of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable
knowledge on the topic of unpredicted emotions.
When some one searches for his vital thing, therefore he/she
wishes to be available that in detail, thus that thing is maintained
over here.
It's in fact very complex in this busy life to listen news on TV,
therefore I simply use world wide web for that
reason, and obtain the most recent news.
