CBS NEWS ^ | 04/12/06 | CBS NEWS

CBS) Although Americans believe they are better informed about Islam than they were five years ago, a new CBS News poll finds fewer than one in five say their impression of the religion is favorable.

Forty-five percent of respondents queried April 6 - 9 said they have an unfavorable view of Islam, a rise from 36 percent in February. And the public’s impression of Islam has diminished even more compared with four years ago. In February 2002 – less than six months after the terrorist attacks of September 11 – the country was evenly divided in its impression of Islam.

The more we learn about the enemy, the more we know they want us dead.

Note to CBS: The first and second parts of this sentence are connected.

You'll see another poll shortly, manufactured by the Drive-by Media, that negates this one.

The Media can only let Christianity suffer.

Anything else wouldn't fit the template.

Their not our enemies, they're freedom fighters, remember?

Now, why could that be?

How could this be after all of the butt kissing the lamestream media and liberals have been doing to the "Peace Loving Muslims"?

"Although Americans believe they are better informed about Islam than they were five years ago, a new CBS News poll finds fewer than one in five say their impression of the religion is favorable."

I was going to say that they could have simply screwed up in using the word "Although" to start that sentence. If you ask me, "Because" would have worked far better.

The more well-informed Americans are about Islam, the more negative their perceptions of it will be.

This sentence needs finishing:

"Although Americans believe they are better informed about Islam than they were five years ago, a new CBS News poll finds fewer than one in five say their impression of the religion is favorable..."

... despite CBS's best efforts to spin and misinform the American viewing public about this evil Death Cult.

I'm surprised it's taken this long to sink only this low.

And our response is what? I nominate two: (1) "So what?" and (2) "Told you so." Let's make that three: (3) "An organization that does not firmly denouce and work to eradicate terrorism will be perceived as causing said terrorism, irrespective of the organization's public relations strategy."

The lack out condemnation of Islamic terrorists by muslims around the word is a contributing factor.

Where were the protests as large or larger than those against the Dutch editorial cartoons?

Their silence has resulted in them being painted with the same brush. Their religion was hijacked a long long time ago. Either that, or the "peaceful" proponents of Islam were the aberration.

Article could be retitled "Some still don't get it".

They tell us every day in every way that they want us DEAD, but it doesn't seem to penetrate some of the wooden heads in this country.

Thank God we are led by a President that understands this completely, and not by one of his a-hole detractors.

Is this the stoning episode? Every time I see that picture it makes me sick to my stomach at what animals these people are and can be.
