Boy, that Cairo speech did wonders, didn’t it?
More Muslims in Lebanon, Nigeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan and Turkey defend suicide bombing today than they did in 2008.
(Pew)
Hows that hopey-changey stuff treating you?
More Muslims support suicide bombing today than they did two years ago.
The Pew Research Center reported:
The Muslim publics surveyed generally reject the notion that suicide bombing against civilians can be justified in order to defend Islam from its enemies, but there is considerable support for this kind of violence in some countries. Muslims in Lebanon and Nigeria are the most likely to say suicide bombings can often or sometimes be justified; nearly four-in-ten Lebanese Muslims (39%) and 34% of Nigerian Muslims say that is the case.
In Lebanon, support for suicide bombing is especially pervasive among the Shia population – 46% say this kind of violence in defense of Islam can often or sometimes be justified, compared with 33% of Sunnis. (Findings regarding attitudes toward suicide bombing and Islamic extremism were previously released in “Obama More Popular Abroad Than at Home, Global Image of U.S. Continues to Benefit,” June 17, 2010.)
One-in-five Muslims in Egypt and Jordan offer support for suicide bombing in defense of Islam, as do 15% of Indonesian Muslims. Yet, far more in these three countries say these violent acts are never justified; 46% of Muslims in Egypt and a majority in Jordan (54%) and Indonesia (69%) reject suicide bombings. The notion that these types of attacks against civilians are never justified is even more widespread in Pakistan and Turkey, where 80% and 77%, respectively, share this view.

It’s even more disturbing considering that some of the respondents oppose suicide bombing based solely on the fact that suicide if forbidden in Islam, not because it’s wrong to slaughter infidels.

did they poll the Mooselimbs in Dearborn?

This is not a surprise given the weakness and lack of resolve shown in the West. They see Islam as winning and they grow in confidence and fearlessness.

Zilla of the Resistance commented:
Islamic supremacists will take advantage of any weakness they see in their enemy, and Obama is nothing but weakness!
We need a man like Allen West as President, no weakness there and he will strike fear into the hearts of our enemies like nobody has since Reagan.
Hafar Al Batin commented:
Muslim inbreeding has produced a population of mentally inferior genetic deviants programmed to hate and kill with no remorse. We are not dealing with humans here. They are a threat to civilization.
Chisum commented:
Muslims are known for their compassion, especially for their fellow Muslims.

“You picked them up in Afghanistan; you should drop them off in Afghanistan, in the middle of the war zone.”

“We are not dealing with humans here.”
This isn’t true. They are all too human. Man is perfectly capable of the most terrible atrocities imaginable, especially in the name of his cause or religion.
In fact, living right among us is a group of people (Progressives) who believe they need to reduce the world’s population down to 500,000 people. They say that would be a sustainable number to “preserve” the planet.
Isn’t that nice! Preserve the planet by eliminating the people!
If you ask them how they will accomplish this goal they get a little vague. They do have plans but they are reluctant to share them until they consolidate their control with “World Governance’.
These are so-called sophisticated and educated people yet they can talk very calmly and logically about eliminating billions of people.
The followers of that primitive bloody religion called Islam are not the only “human” enemies we have.

How sweet. The religion of peace, love and tolerance.
Ang commented:
Is this news, did we really need a survy to come to this conclusion? Any rational person with observation skills could have to us this information. Oh well.

Let’s ban their emigration and start deportation.
