In reply to the discussion: Gallup poll: after Trump attacks Muslims, his support among Democrats INCREASES [View all]cpwm17
(3,829 posts)39. So it is the liberals' and the Muslims' fault for Trump's popularity
and not American bigots and war-mongers? Yea, I'm sure Americans are really so concerned about woman in the Muslim world, such that it should be a major concern in US elections.
Who are the violent ones? US foreign policy proves who most supports violence in this world, and it is reflected in who values human life the least:

While the majority of world citizens agree that military attacks targeting civilians are never justified, a decade after 9/11, there is a wide range in the level of support for this view. A clear majority in Asia and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) find military attacks against civilians unacceptable. This is not surprising considering the acute conflicts raging in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and other parts of the Middle East.
In contrast, regionally, residents of the U.S. and Canada are most likely to say that military attacks against civilians are sometimes justified. Americans are the most likely population in the world (49%) to believe military attacks targeting civilians is sometimes justified, followed by residents of Haiti and Israel (43%).
