I did not think you would like it. So people engage with no support at all? The words mean different things but to honestly evaluate the numbers you have to take into account because it falls to aiding and abetting that let that number actually terrorize.

You're right. I didn't like it. I detest dishonesty and that's what it was.

1: Your poll says "Who believes 99.9 % of Muslims do not engage in terror and jihad?", and then you say "support" in the post. Which is it?

2: Where are "what you consider reliable sources"? There are no sources in your post.

Also, what do you say is "engage in"? If we do not know that definition, how can we answer the poll question with even a modicum of certainty.

I believe between 10% to 13% fully support jihad and terror. I have posted what I consider reliable sources. How about you? What is the percentage you believe engage or fully support terror and violent jihad?

What a fundamentally flawed poll/OP.

I believe in Russel's teapot. At least on days when I come across a poll as ludicrously formulated as this one.

So what?
10% to 13% fully support jihad and terror. I have posted what I consider reliable sources.

and what does your assessment of the reliability of your sources have to do with anything?

So you believe them and again so what?

How about you? What is the percentage you believe engage or fully support terror and violent jihad?

What's it going to be then?
 
coldjoint said:
Plenty. But there are so many experts on Islam here I would rather hear from them. Also I told you the percentage I believe.

On the question of whether you have any data you say plenty and then follow it up with what you believe.

You know that belief isn't really "data", right?

Right???

It is the .1% I am tired of hearing from too many here. I wanted to see how many actually think there is any truth to it.

I think what you're getting to hear is what many people think of your poll.

Look back through the threads. It looks like you need something to do.

And there we have it, the dishonesty that the poll indicates and that, to anyone that can actually be bothered to look thru the poster's threads, is demonstrated by him in those from his OPs onwards.
 
Apart from being flawed in every conceivable way, this poll should at least have offered the third option of "other".

So that at least some of us could have stated as "reason", that they stopped beating their wives 5 minutes ago.:roll:

So you say. Remember you do not tell me anything, you offer your opinion.

Since you rarely source anything I am starting to wonder why I ask.
 
Since everyone seems to be unhappy about the poll I suppose the thread should be closed. Closed before more people realize that the number of actual terrorists have little to do with the support of their terror. The mission is political as Islam has been and terror is just one tactic. Another tactic is for apologists to find something to change the subject. I guess they have and it is my fault for not wording things more carefully.

I still maintain that number is ridiculous, unless you are happy with nitpicking about a very serious deadly problem that is increasing in both categories terror and support.

99.9% is one in a thousand. There are a 1.6 billion Muslims. So, that would make for over 1.6 million Muslims engaged in Jihad and Terrorism, which is obviously nonsense. There are probably fewer than 10,000.

As for your 10%...that would be 160, 000,000 Muslims engaged in Jihad. Obviously that's not reasonable. If it were, we'd all be bowing to the East by now.

1.6 billion Muslims X 13% = 208 million terrorists.

If each one carried out an attack once every 5 years, and it took 4 terrorists to carry out each attack, that would be 10.4 million terror attacks per year.

I THINK YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE OFF IN YOUR GUESSTIMATION.

If there is not enough terror for you now, I do not know what to tell you. And those numbers reflect support so your whole reply is pretty silly.

Oh support, so what like 1,000 Muslims in the shadows support 1 terrorist? What is the supporter to terrorist ratio?

I'm sure you know exactly what the typical Muslim believes being that you guys are so accurate in what you think a liberal believes.

Support of 160 million Muslims is reasonable. I have tried to explain the degrees of faith. And any support is support, no matter how small. Why can't intelligent people grasp that concept? I think the reason fails when they might be called some terrible names, like hater or bigot.

No one dies from names they are called. Terror victims die.

Heck, leave it open by all means.

Foolishness is best revealed out in the open.
