The latest Pew Research is only shocking if you haven’t seen other research on Muslims. Full Research document:
Just 40% of American Muslims accept that Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks. And this is AFTER Osama bin Laden bragged about being responsible. This is beyond scary. This is into the realm of Jonestown Kool-Aid drinking. What more evidence could possibly convince them. Muslims are at war all over the planet, but what do they believe that this is either not true or just a massive defensive battle?
47% of them think of themselves as Muslims before American. God before country? That was once thought of the way it had to be, but how many Americans would answer this way? I haven’t been to a church in 20 years, so I would certainly answer I am an American before being a Christian.
Only 51% of them are Very Concerned about Islamic extremism. Are you kidding me? They should be more aware of how war follows Islam all over the planet. Nearly every war or conflict going involves Islam. How can anyone not be Very Concerned about Islamic extremism? 19% are not at all concerned, which I am not sure how many of any group is just clueless.
Only 62% believe life is better for women here than in Muslim countries? Huh? So 38% of Muslims think women being stoned to death for infidelity, circumcised, polygamist marriages, being forbidden to drive a car, can’t leave the home without a male escort, can’t touch a man outside of your family, wearing a burka, no voting rights, a man’s testimony being of much higher value than a women’s, forbidden to go to school…. All of this to 38% of Muslims is better than how women have it here?
In all of these categories the more devout the Muslim, the more off base the answer. More than twice as many of those reporting to be committed to Islam answered that Arabs were not involved in 9/11 as to those with a low level of commitment. There is something very very very wrong with Islamic believes.
The only aspect of 8% of US Muslims believing Suicide Bombings of Civilian targets is often or sometimes justified is that it is half the number found in France, Spain and the UK. However those that are 18-29 the numbers jump to 15% Often/Sometimes and 11% Rarely. 26% of young US Muslims believe that suicide bombings against civilians can be justified. That is some pool of young minds waiting to be warped by evil Mullahs and set out against civilization.
Just go through the research and you will be horrified.
