Not me anna, I wouldn't watch that for any reason -

I'm not guilty of watching the real thing , just movies. For example, I came across this movie called sinister on the internet. I did not order the full movie but looked at images and small video cuts and read the whole story line. It shocked me as bad as Ethan Hawke was when he opened up the super 8 family movies and came across the first murder scene. It just kept playing over and over in my mind that I could not help myself from watching scenes again. Whoever thought of this story had an evil imagination. The horrors of this film are indescribable. ...and children are the murderers. A demon gets a hold of them and turns them into cold blooded murderers. It's inconceivable.

More support ISIS than you realize.

ISIS AND MUSLIMS

Al Jazeera poll, 81% of respondents approved of ISIS "In a recent survey conducted by AlJazeera.net, the website for the Al Jazeera Arabic television channel, respondents overwhelmingly support the Islamic State terrorist group, with 81% voting “YES” on whether they approved of ISIS’s conquests in the region. The poll, which asked in Arabic, “Do you support the organizing victories of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)?” has generated over 38,000 responses thus far, with only 19% of respondents voting “NO” to supporting ISIS."(https://muslimstatistics.wordpress....support-islamic-state-al-jazeera-arabic-poll/ )
Pew poll: 63 mil to 287 mil ISIS supporters in just 11 countries. A new poll by the Pew Research Center reveals significant levels of support for ISIS within the Muslim world. In 11 representative nation-states, up to 14 percent of the population has a favorable opinion of ISIS, and upwards of 62 percent “don’t know” whether or not they have a favorable opinion of the Islamist group."(https://muslimstatistics.wordpress....million-isis-supporters-in-just-11-countries/)
81% of Al Jazerra Poll support ISIS, "al-Jazeera Poll (2015): 81% of respondents support the Islamic State (ISIS)."
(http://www.breitbart.com/national-s...jazeera-arabic-poll-respondents-support-isis/)
Saudi Arabia, 92% of Saudis say ISIS conforms to Islamic Law, "Informal poll of Saudis in August 2014 shows 92% agree that Islamic State (ISIS) “conforms to the values of Islam and Islamic law.” (https://muslimstatistics.wordpress....o-the-values-of-islam-and-islamic-law-survey/)
America, 38% of American Muslims says ISIS beliefs are correct, "The Polling Company CSP Poll (2015): 38% of Muslim-Americans say Islamic State (ISIS) beliefs are Islamic or correct. (43% disagree)." (http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy....nline-Survey-of-Muslims-Topline-Poll-Data.pdf)
Britain, about 1/2 of Muslims support ISIS, ICM (Mirror) Poll 2015: 1.5 Million British Muslims support the Islamic State, about half the total population." (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/muslim-leader-isis-supporting-brits-disenfranchised-6018357)

If you had one critical bone in your body, you would have known that this so called poll is highly criticized for being extremely biased. That poll was apparently highjacked by Pro-ISIS twitter accounts, skewing the numbers wildly. All these reported by a wordpress page and newspapers. Give me some actual analysis done by people who understands basic statistic and the possible biases that one has to account for, give me some academic work on the issue.

CatholicCrusader said:
That exposes the idiots who say that there are only a few extremists in Islam.

Nope, it once again exposes evil hotheads like yourself who will jump on anything that will support your claim and ignore everything else. This is what is called confirmation bias.

Gobbldeygook.

I see that you are unable to give a coherent reply to what I actually said. Once again, this only reveals that you are driven by hatred, a hatred that I suspect is your only self-identity at this point.

Your bias is already off the charts . Anything present will be biased in your body that has too many jaded bones in it but will accept anything uncritically from Rachel maddow types.

1. I do not like calls for the bombing of al Aqsa, for the simple reason that I have many relatives in Jerusalem.
2. How many of you war- mongers have been in a war? (I haven't) Have you waited at home while your sons were at the front? (I have) Been at soldiers funerals? (I have). War is not fun.
3. Have you noticed how militant fundamentalists can get when they feel their culture is being attacked? Destroying Mecca will be the first stage a long war, not the end.
4. It has become critical to understand Islam. The different types of Islam. The extremist groups and the moderate ones. You need to know who you are up against, and why.
5. I had an interesting conversation with a Muslim taxi driver yesterday about his Haj - pilgrimage to Mecca, for those of you who are completely ignorant.

Islam is only a symptom, one of many. This is the problem; this is what's being risked:

“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience and are left to the common refuge, which God hath provided for all men, against force and violence.”

John Locke, 2nd Treatise on Government

Do you Leftists know what is "the common refuge" Locke spoke of? Do you understand what it would mean for you as surely as for everyone if you continue to get what you've been trained to demand?

I'm sure there are some truth to those statistics. It is a long shot between those numbers and the ludicrous claim that 81% of Muslims support ISIS. Still, those numbers does not prove that Islam as such is evil. First of all, the numbers are higher in areas that have other signficant factors such as a poverty, lack of education and oppression. I do not have a problem with saying that certain streams of Islam are problematic. Wahabbistic Islam is evil.

What you guys need to realize is that Wahabbistic Islam is not all Islam is or has been and that there are other factors in play. Generalizing and heaping all Muslims in under that umbrella is counter productive and only aids their cause. A far more fruitful thing to do is to support reform movements and forms of Islam that oppose these groups. Nuking the holy sites of Islam, which are holy to these non-radical groups as well, would further polarize and only strengthen the claims of radicals that the west are imperialist regimes seeking to destroy their religion.

I guess all those polls are biased too?

Not necessarily, it is you that is biased.

Just as a for instance: with your first poll "ICM Poll: 20% of British Muslims sympathize with 7/7 bombers, the first poll", you would like us to believe that these muslims agreed with the 7/7 bombings, whereas in the same poll it is clear that 99% of the same sample declared that they did not agree with the bombings. "Sympathise" does not, despite your desire, mean "support". I can sympathise with someone I believe to be in mental anguish enough to do something hugely stupid without remotely supporting their actions.

To suggest otherwise is to be dishonest, given the evidence of your linked survey.

Yup — Islam in the US seems far more diverse even than Christianity, and I'm sure the Christians here would not want to be lumped all together and treated as an homogeneous whole.

Yup — Islam in the US seems far more diverse even than Christianity, and I'm sure the Christians here would not want to be lumped all together and treated as an homogeneous whole.

Actually, Christianity is defined by a very specific declaration of faith by each individual, which excludes Sillyfile because he rejects the notion that Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation.

And the diversity is a complete non-issue. Christians do not bomb, shoot and truck others in the name of God, while Muslims do. And even if you could invent an example of evil deeds in God's name, the Bible would condemn the murderer and recommends his swift and painful execution, while the Koran celebrates and promises rewards to such people.

So your weak attempt to slur Christianity is just silly.

All the more reason to destroy what drives it: prove Allah ackbar ("Allah is greater") is false by disproving forever the belief that there is no god but Allah and that Mohammed was his prophet.

Don't pretend that 80% means anything to you, any more than the bulk of humanity means to your hypocritical idol Davey Suzuki. They exist only as a talking point for you.

Now get lost, child. Men are talking here.

No, they really aren't...
