Pew: 13% of U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings sometimes justified against civilians to defend Islam
Pew ^

Posted on 12/09/2015 8:29:34 AM PST by springwater13

More than eight-in-ten American Muslims say suicide bombings and other forms of violence against civilian targets are never justified (81%) or rarely justified (5%) to defend Islam from its enemies. Worldwide, most Muslims also reject this type of violence, with a median of 72% saying such attacks are never justified and 10% saying they are rarely justified. Just 1% of U.S. Muslims and a median of 3% of Muslims worldwide say suicide bombings and other violence against civilian targets are often justified, while 7% of U.S. Muslims and a global median of 8% of Muslims say such attacks are sometimes justified to defend Islam.

My, my….looks like Trump is right again. Do you think the stooges at DHS can keep up with almost 400,000 potential murderers? Not likely, especially since DHS employs 72 Muslims who are on the No Fly List. It’s insanity, just as Trump says.

To be fair, collateral damage (civilian deaths) happens in war (unless you are trying to fight that war with one arm tied around your back with self-defeating ROEs).

In this case one party (Islam) recognizes they are war, while the other party (the West) buries its head in the sand and pretends otherwise.

As long has it is a positive number, we will have a major problem with islam. Of the major religions in the world, none of them teach, promote or encourage the killing of unbelievers, except islam.

2.75 million minus 357,000 jerks equals what? Were these really Muslims? Were they citizens? How was the question framed?

Don’t want to seem particularly critical, but polls sometimes reflect a pre-arranged agenda.

I think we should round up those 357,000 jerks and put them in a missile and laucnh it to ISIS land.

100% of muslims worship satan.

That is the key fact. Nothing good can ever come of islam, for that reason.

That was my first thought, as well. I am sure that the MSM will be issuing apologies to Mr Trump as we speak.

I just read 2 books by Dinesh D’Souza on Obama. He literally PROVES what you posted is true.

13% is 357,000.

That is just the number that will admit to it. How many more knew enough to lie about it.

“So why isn’t EVERY concerned American supporting Trump?”

Because according to some, Trump doesn’t have checkmarks in every single conservative principle that they believe in, and so they write him off. Despite that he is times more electable that Cruz or any other candidate running.

Just look at how much the Twister Board chart shows up in every Trump posting.

We should not allow the evil actions of the 13% who actively support terrorism to reflect unfavorably on the 87% of Muslims whose support for terrorism is only passive.
