Slayed :banana:

But I always wonder how accurate these polls really are.

Do they take data from multiple different communities for each poll or do some go to specific areas where extremism and ancient teachings are more popular?

Assert that most followers of Islam are people of low moral conduct, is not correct.
if so, it would have 1 billion Muslims practicing acts of cruelty every day.

There are many practical and logistical reasons why this is not the case.

When has anyone ever said that there aren't muslims that support isis ? Or al qaeda....

What people are saying you can't paint everyone with the same brush using a small minority of a population.

13 percent of Muslims ( worldwide ) support the groups ....
Well over half don't support those groups ( again worldwide )

I bet I could find 13 percent of American Christian groups ( likely higher ) supporting the kkk 20 to 30 years ago ... does that mean American Christians are bad people ?
