http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-beliefs-about-sharia/What's most interesting is in a "moderate" country like Egypt,
74 percent of Egyptians support making Sharia the law of the land
70 percent favor corporal punishment for crimes such as theft(subset of those who favor making sharia the law)
81 percent favor stoning for adultery
86 percent support the death penalty for converts from Islam
I'm speechless.

Kind of like the way Fox does polling...like they did in Vermont on radical liberals.

I was sad when I had only 4 posts to my screen name, Mr. "Islam is Religion of Peace"

Yes, I second that. Why they think they are being clever......but the OP will attract them.

Thank you. First they came for the Muslims, then they came for Aethiests, and so on and so on.

Actually, first they came for the Jews, and they haven't really yet decided who to come for next.

Imagine a poll showing that 86% of Christians in the US want abortion doctors to be murdered.
