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.

What are they fearful of?

I believe they are just plain stupid. People who live without seeing what is going on around them

A good definition of Democrats. They ignore what they see that is going on around them.

"just plain fearful"

Just plain ideological i.e. leftist ideology. A very large pct. of that 60% know the truth about Islam, but they've been conditioned to hate Christianity. And under the axiom the enemy of my enemy is my friend, they refuse to say the obvious: Islam is the greatest threat to civilization above every other kind of ideology. Of course, another perverse ideology, leftism, keeps the civilized world from combating violent Islam.

And we wonder why we have an Islamic socialist for president.

How many Americans does it take to change a light bulb?

The Amish. Feds just sent a man named Mr. Mullet (no joke) to jail for forcible beard cutting after the Amish asked for help.

LOL.
