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 that 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).
