I think this one qualifies for the dumbest poll of the year award! After you vote, you can leave a comment.

[Mr. Mojo]

and if so, why?

A poll question that requires an explanation?

[reagan_fanatic]

Duh.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

I know this is going to be an unpopular answer. But, is the Islamic relgion dangerous to world peace? No. But mutation and hijacking of the Islamic religion by terrorists who hide under the cloak of religion are VERY dangerous to world peace!

How many Muslims are Islamists?

This reply on the vote page in this article is a test case in the ignorance and arrogance of the left:

Through time, more people have been killed under the flag of Christianity than any other religion. To those who view Islam as a "threat to our way of life", may I humbly offer that your closed, hateful minds are a much greater threat to your children's future than any religion. The world will know peace when we recognize that we are all children of the same God, no matter how we chose to worship Him. Jesus did not preach hate and fear, it's too bad our "leaders" do. -there are NO good Republicans

I could spend all day picking this apart but my favorite is how this "person" makes claims about Jesus not preaching hate and fear using the moniker "there are NO good Republicans."

Since I have worked in Austin for over 30 years, the one thing I can say is, liberals rule this city, especially the TV news (HA! HA!) and paper.

I like this comment:
They ain't nothing but a bunch of radicals, with no common scents.

[GaryMontana]

I gave the following comment:

Islam has a world agenda to take over th world.

There are 17 conflicts taking place in the world each and every conflict has one thing in common - Islam is attacking it’s neighbors. From the Philippines to the Ivory Coast, including India, Thailand, Kenya, Croatia, Israel, Russia and other nations Islam is the aggresive terrorist reason behind the war.

I can point out Nick Berg, Paul Johnson, Margaret Hassan and the others who were beheaded for no other reason but not being Muslim.

Islam is the enemy of the human race. Try being a woman in an Islamic nation a dog or a cow has more rights than a woman. It is time the human race woke up before we all face the same situation that Van Gogh in the Netherlands faced – death.

I especially like this one. Oh, those closed, hateful minds. If only the writer could appreciate the irony of her signature.

Done. I only wish I had an option to answer the "why?" question. They probably don't have room to list all the terrorist attacks in the name of islam by muslims since 1972 though.

"The hardest thing for Westerners to understand is not that a war with militant Islam is underway but that the nature of the enemy's ultimate goal. That goal is to apply the Islamic law (the Shari‘a) globally. In U.S. terms, it intends to replace the Constitution with the Qur'an." --Daniel Pipes

WAKE UP AMERICA	"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." -Omar Ahmad, Co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, aka CAIR President and CEO of Silicon Expert Technologies A Palestinian who grew up in a refugee camp in Jordan.
