Meaningless

Plato, that article is meaningless. First, who knows how accurately done the poll was? Second, Muslims ...are in fact mandated by their religion to lie to non-Muslims. You cannot put stock into anything they say...

And third, the main problem is that when it comes to any poll on either side of our respective arguments, those polls are ultimately meaningless. We need to look at ACTIONS. Actions speak louder than words. Muslims may say they approve of America or Israel, they may claim to condemn terrorism, but what do they DO?

Everywhere Muslims exist, they are committing acts of terrorism, spreading hatred and intolerance, subverting cultures, and basically undermining civilization. Britain, Sudan, Israel, Egypt...doesn't matter what the geography is. If Islam is there, misery and extreme violence is there. This is a phenomenon unique to Islam amongst all the world religions. Even Satanism is not spreading so much hatred and violence. Think about it. When was the last time you read a report of a Satanist committing an act of violence against innocent people? Even a universally considered evil religion such as Satanism does not carry the stigma of Islam.

It seems that people like you and Michel are doing nothing more than searching for things that will help you deny reality.
