It is a war against Islam! (and i have nothing to do today)

[My Wife Hates CIV]

More than two-thirds of British Muslims surveyed consider the war on terrorism a war against Islam, a poll conducted for the British Broadcasting Corp. showed Monday.

The ICM survey of 500 people also revealed that more than half of British Muslims believe Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network should not have been blamed for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington.

However, 11 percent said they believed further attacks against the United States by al-Qaida or similar groups would be justified, and 8 percent said such attacks would be justified against Britain.




I agree. Bring it on I say. Each and every attack against the US is just another reason the US has to tighten its grip on total global control - as if we need one, but it does make it easrier.

MWH CIV, you are presenting like 11% would be a majority...

Remember, 11% of Americand doesn't knows that Washington is capital but yet you don't call every American dumb.

brilliant. this is almost as humorous as the people who deny the holocaust ever happened.

is britian harboring terrorists?

[My Wife Hates CIV]

but one could... and that's 11% of British Muslims. Go to the middle east and that number climbs fast.

hey, all i'm saying is that i agree.

What I am saying is that 5%-15% is a natural minority of any mediocre dumb question into which there are only two possible answers. I believe if in America you'd ask "should we nuke axis of evil?" the number of people who'd answer yes would be also between 5%-15%. Probably about the sae results you'd get if you'd ask "was Hitler a good politician?" in Germany. Of course if questions are dumber that percent could be lower (I mean questions like "should we nuke all the world?"), but I doubt it would be ever lower than 5% if only two possible answers are available, cause the dumber is question, the more people will choose dumb answer as a joke.

As a proove of what I am saying, try to ask some very dumb question on Apolyton as a poll with only two available answers, without banana option...

[My Wife Hates CIV]

i see what you're saying... you're probably correct.

[Heresson]

It's not about those 11%... It's about those 2/3.

[Rage]

8 percent said such attacks would be justified against Britain.

Those 8 percent should be chucked out of the country...

Hmm, a simmilar zogby poll taken recently of Arab-Americans found that about 60 or 70% believe that the war is on terrorism and not islam.

that leaves 30 to 40% believing something else.

Polls suck, the questions are slanted to get certain
results in the first place. If you keep taking polls
all the time, you always have something sensational
to print on a slow news day.

Most Muslim-Americans (Just "Americans" from my point of view, but I digress) I've met are somewhat conservative in tint, and are salivating at the prospect of "regime Changing" Hussein's ass.

Though the still dislike Israel to the point of fanaticism. In that case, blood IS thicker than water, although I think both sides should be sent to sit in the corner for the rest of the 21st century.

Lonestar, it is obvious if I would be Palestinian I would also hate Israel, I think most of people would. Probably it's just very hard to imagine for people whose countries were never occupied what is to be annexed. Especially this is very hard for annexed countries if religion, ethnicity and politics of both countries differs. I lived under such an occupation so I know it. Although some would object my following statement, I even believe that many people on this forum if they had been born in Palestine would also support terrorism. Friends'/other respected people statements, cruelity of occupying nation against occupied people in everyday's life would create such a pro-terroristic opinion.
I myself will not lie, if someone would annex my country (Lithuania) and they would be as cruel as Soviets (South African Apartheid, Israel, etc.) with my people, I myself although wouldn't do suicide terroristic acts (probably you'll call me "chicken" but I don't think I would be able to commit a suicide), I would most certainly call a man who would implode himself in the middle of "occupants" people a National Hero, not a terrorist.

Sep 11 is a different issue however as USA didn't occupied Afghanistan at a time.

[Lonestar]

I'd argue that Israel was in the process of letting the West Bank and Gaza spin off (like the Sovs with you Baltics) When the Palestinians decided to start blowing up school buses and clubs full of teenagers.

But let's not hijack the thread.
