The ones you are talking about are probably agnostic and don't follow their faith all that closely.

Also look up studies about what percentage of the population has to turn Muslim in a society before they act up.
It has been learned in France, Germany the Netherlands and so forth.

My poll was motivated by the responses on another thread. Many of those responsed indicated that all muslims were jihadists. I thought it would be helpful to see how many people would really poll that all muslims should be considered jihadists.

Kind of like 90% of all religious people world wide.

Has anyone read the bible, torah, or the qur'an? Hardly anyone follows the rules to the hilt.

Well out of that billion an awful lot of them eat with one hand and wipe their bottom with the other one.
Shake the better hand IMO.

Of course those forced to semi-adapt their behavior to a non barren Muslim country would have changed that practice.

When was the last time again YOU heard of a Christian, Buddhist or Jews killing numbers of people for burning their Holy books?
Islam is NOT an equal civilized people at this time despite the politically correct atmosphere people try apply to arguments.

Michigan had a Christian militia just a few years ago arming themselves, and there are Christian groups killing people in Africa today in the name of their religion.

But your post said that most are agnostic and don't follow their religion. Most Christians and Jews do the same.

Michigan has a Christian militia arming themselves and then what? Did they go around shooting people burning the Bible?

Christians are getting killed left and right in Africa, were they responding or were they the initiators?

No, Buddhist, Christians and Jews don't go around asking to stone rape victims or to kill people for burning their Holy books. Not the case.

You find the occasional odd ball in other faiths, but Muslims get large groups like The Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaida and so forth.

In many Muslim lands they make non-Muslims wear a mark to show they are different. Maybe we should do the same in America so they are treated as they treat others at home.

An awful lot of Christians and Hindus do too (hint for the xenophobe, it's a poverty thing, not a religious one)!

I try to be like MLK and judge them by the content of their character but, like my sons pittbulls who are really great dogs, there is always that little piece of me that is always on guard with them, I guess that is the way I will always feel about Muslims.
