The new nationwide survey of 2,002 adults, conducted June 24-July 8 by the Pew Research Center and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, shows that 44% of Americans say that Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence among its followers, a sharp rise from 25% who held this view in March 2002.
A separate Pew Research Center study found that nearly half the public thinks that half or more Muslims worldwide hold anti-American views, up from just a third who felt this way in 2002.

ReplyDeleteI once lived in a very over populated Asian community, many had a chip on their shoulders about the British getting more jobs than them.......yet they were living in our country. But on the whole as I have said there are good and bad within all societies.
Have a good day.

ReplyDeletePeople bearing the name Christians have been very violent over the centuries.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is good for us to be fearful or suspicious of Muslims. Be wise, be sober, but not fearful.
