The Religion of Peace: Opinion Polls



Muslim Opinion Polls:

A Tiny Minority of Extremists? Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be

unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is their destination

Quran 9:73

Have you heard that Islam is a peaceful religion because most Muslims live peacefully and only a "tiny minority of extremists" practice violence? That's like saying that White supremacy must be perfectly fine since only a tiny minority of racists ever hurt anyone. Neither does it explain why religious violence is largely endemic to Islam, despite the tremendous persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries. In truth, even a tiny minority of "1%" of Muslims worldwide translates to 15 million believers - which is hardly an insignificant number. However, the "minority" of Muslims who approve of terrorists, their goals, or their means of achieving them is much greater than this. In fact, it isn't even a true minority in some cases, depending on how goals and targets are defined. The following polls convey what Muslims say are their attitudes toward terrorism, al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, the 9/11 attacks, violence in defense of Islam, Sharia, honor killings, and matters concerning assimilation in Western society. The results are all the more astonishing because most of the polls were conducted by organizations with an obvious interest in "discovering" agreeable statistics that downplay any cause for concern. (These have been compiled over the years, so not all links remain active. We will continue adding to this). Terrorism



al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden and Islamic State (ISIS)



9/11 Attacks



Violence in Defense of Islam



Sharia



Honor Killings



Assimilation in the West

Although not a formal poll, the fact that more British Muslims were fighting for ISIS than serving in British armed forces is probably more disturbing and insightful than a study of expressed opinion. While the number of Muslims serving in the British armed forces in 2016 was a little over 550 (thanks to targeted recruitment efforts), studies show that the number of British Muslims traveling to ISIS was at least 700-760 (probably much higher, about 850). The UK also arrested hundreds of others who were in the act of trying to join. There are no such barriers to Muslims serving in the armed forces, of course, yet fewer choose to do this, despite the public line that "terrorists aren't Muslim". Clearly, most British Muslims do not really believe that ISIS is a group of heretics killing true Muslims.
