I'm just glad I have friends like you to tell me what I believe

duffman316 always takes muslim threads personally, wouldn't be bothered with it.

The only numbers that really surprised me were the American Muslim numbers, so I did a little digging...Wenzel Strategy has been re-grouped into a group called "Clout Political", and all 3 of the administrative heads are pretty far right. Not saying that invalidates the results, just saying it casts doubt upon the validity of that particular study.

Thanks for sharing. Good thread

One day we shall debate the merits of a study without dismissing it outright for originating from extremely biased sources

But that day is not today

You're free to dismiss them if you want, but there are more than a few from a credible source in the OP if you want to discuss those instead.

Well the only one that seemed like it was inaccurate to me was the U.S. figures (as I said). The rest are very believable to me and could certainly be the subject of many debates...but I think those would be more about the effectiveness of U.S. diplomacy than the beliefs of Muslims.

Lets start with world public opinion

You can support american foreign policy or you can cry that people don't like americans but you can't do both nor complain about one while pretending america hasn't done anything to earn the ire of muslims

The thing is when somebody who appreciates intelligent discussion like you, and I consider you in that group of Pard. But when you make a post that contains a mismash of sources, which some could be easily discounted as heavily biased. It makes it hard to accept any of the post as credible.

There are two sides those that are for accepting refugees, and those against it.

both sides have made their minds up. If you want to change someone's mind, the proof/info. you exhibit needs to be good, if it becomes tainted, the people who you are hoping to sway the opinion of are going to discount it instantly. And the ones who agree will just keep nodding as they read along.

The Christians did it first
