Six months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, just 25 percent of Americans said Islam is more likely to encourage violence than other religions. That number has climbed to 42 percent, according to a new poll released Tuesday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.
The survey, conducted after the Boston bombings, found that opinions have not changed much as a result of those attacks. In March, 40 percent of Americans said Islam is more violent, 42 percent disagreed.

Bush set us back 50 years in properly dealing with the issue with his “peaceful friendly religion” nonsense.
Liberals are too embarrassed to agree. Of course they mostly know the truth deep down.
“The gap grows with partisan differences: 69 percent of self-described conservative Republicans say it does, 71 percent of professed liberal Democrats disagree.”
Also there is no indication of how many “don’t know”s there were. I suspect a lot amongst the 31% conservatives that are not in the “agree” coumn.
The other 6 are too scared of Islamo fascists to answer.
74% of the French.
Cheese eating surrender monkeys rule!
6 out of 10 aren’t paying attention.
Only four in ten????
There are certainly a lot of idiots in the U.S.
Only 40%, that’s sad.
6 in 10 said “wuh”.
“That few? Are the rest asleep?
Only 47% of the Americans who bothered to vote said no to the Obamanation. Therefore it isn’t hard for me to believe only 42% of Americans believe Islam is violent. This tells me the propaganda machine of the governing elites is effective in shaping the opinions of the majority of the people .
Face it. Americans are much more concerned about who is winning on American Idol than they are about foreign and domestic threats. The average American believes the government will protect him. After all Obama said so and Obama would not lie.
The other six must be brain dead.
6 in 10 Americans unable to answer izzlamic violence poll since their heads were in the sand.
Proving that brainwashing and indoctrination by government schools and the liberal PC media have rendered 6 in 10 Americans effectively brain dead.
Watch these Navy SEAL Team VI families and other family members as they reveal the Obama Administrations culpability in death of their sons in the fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan following the successful raid on bin Laden’s compound. This is a powerful and riveting briefing that included some of America’s most significant military leaders.
Video of their funeral has an Imam condemning the fallen SEAL warriors.

Only 4 in 10?!
Even though it looks like “American Idol” is falling apart. Just heard that Randy Jackson is calling it quits.
Are the other 6 insane or mentally competent?
Or just plain fearful.
