Almost seven out 10 Democrats believe Islam “encourages violence… about the same as other religions,” according to a new CBS poll. The trusting attitude towards Islam is revealed in the February 2017 poll follows 17 tumultuous years of attacks against Americans motivated or shaped by Islamic ideology throughout the United States—from the 9/11 atrocity to the Pulse nightclub attack in Florida committed by an observant, orthodox Muslim man from a Muslim family.

Merely one-in-seven Democrats believe that Islam is more violent than other religions,

Both have violent pasts. Christianity's violent past was largely contra the tenets of Christianity. The oft decried Crusades were Europe's ultimately ineffectual defensive wars against a rapacious Islam. Islam, on the other hand, has war and conquest, slavery and mass murder as tenets of the religion enshrined in the three holy books, the Koran, The Hadiths, and the Biography, and in the opinions and judgments of numerous imams and cadis and caliphs over the 1400 years of its existence.
There is a difference.

[Bayard]

Paint with a brush that broad and you have to include the past few centuries with the hundreds of millions of dead which lie at the feet of atheists.

[Mrs. Don-o]

"We Europeans have never been tainted by islam,"

Not sure what you mean. The Iberian peninsula (Spain-Portugal) wasn't Islamic for 600+ years? the Balkans aren't in Europe?

[Terry Mross]

What this means is they want to ban Christianity.

More fake news polls from CBS to match their fake news polls last year. The lying mediots have so much fake news, they need a fake news stand to peddle it.

[Stepan12]

Moral equivalence. It used to the Arabs and Jews were morally equivalent. Now, Christians are up on dock for their defamation.

[marktwain]

One of the tenants of the the Religion of “Progressivism” is that all other religions are equal and equally wrong.

Only Secular Progressivism is “right”.

[P-Marlowe]

The muslims sold them into slavery.

[gundog]

Damn Amish.

Hey Dims, attend an Orthodox Christian Divine Liturgy next Sunday, and learn something! Lose a bit of your Dimness!!!!

[Read Write Repeat]

Christianity's violent past was largely contra the tenets of Christianity.

First one to make peace with the Jews wins.

[RipSawyer]

“Translation: Two thirds of Democrats are ignorant fools.”

You’re low by one third.

[Gay State Conservative]

And the other third of Rats think that Christianity is *more* violent.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Completely ignorant of history and current events.

Either delusional or deliberately obtuse.

[aimhigh]

Liberals want to believe the lies. At some point, they will begin a sever ersecution against Christians.

[jersey117]

Two thirds of democrats are idiots.

[savagesusie]

They are brainwashed useful idiots, exactly what Common Core and our skools were designed to create.

[ully2]

Because Obama killed all those muzzies with drones.

[Redleg Duke]

What do Democrats know about Christianity?
