To be fair, it's 80% of the people who responded to the poll who support ISIS. However if that's truly representative, welcome to WW3 folks. frown
True, although 56,000 is quite a sample.

I honestly believe that this is the case in the UK as well - you need to visit your Oldhams/Bradfords/Blackburns etc. We're not talking "your mate Mohammed from Uni" or whatever here. It's another world.

56,000 people is indeed a large sample - how many of the respondents were genuine I wonder? Even I could have replied with a bit of the old death to the west shtick and I'm as white and English as they come......

What rubbish, I live and have been brought up around the Blackburn and it isn't a hotbed of ISIS support at all.

They are hardly likely to be flying a flag or publicising the fact.

In other news........in Syria 20% of the people surveyed at a check point failed to return home. The man operating the check point, dress in a fetching shade of dusty black, stated when questioned it was nothing to do with him and perhaps God took them.....

Am I the only one that finds posters who try and excuse/explain these acts by pointing out that other murderous psychopaths were more successful at killing people utterly bizarre?

Have you every visited Oldham, Bradford or Burnley? Didn't Bradford recently elect a female Muslim MP who is a living example of what ISIS isn't?

I can't find any mention of the other victims of the Sousse massacre.

7 people. Were they locals or tourists from other countries?

I'm not sure anyone has tried to explain or excuse IS that way.
What has been said is that, in response to ridiculous attempts to suggest all religion is evil, humans devoid of religion are still quite capable of evil on a massive scale. There is a group that believes killing people to further their aims is justified. This group idientifies itself as Islamic. SOME Muslims agree with them. To take this as evidence that all Muslims are as evil as this is foolish, to extrapolate this to suggest all religion is evil is downright backwards.

You can still argue that religious ideals are the trigger for a lot of murder and misery, but like you say it does not apply to all followers.

You can also argue that alot of religious teachings fall well short of the kind of morals expected of a modern secular society.

I am no historian but i do know how much the Arab world has conributed to the modern world. What happend to them a lot of them haven't evolved in over a thousand years is this the result of religion?.
How can a civilisation create Pyramids over 4000 years ago, understand the stars and mathematics and now all they create is suicide bombers all in the name of religion.

I see ALL religions as a form of mental illness, based on irrational superstition, and I don't give a fk who may be offended by this!!!!! Let me explain for the hard of thinking here (I don't care about fatwas, or other inane threats) If all religions assert that they are the "True path to enlightenment, at the exclusion of other religions - they simply cannot ALL be correct in their outlook, so ALL must be mistaken/wrong/deluded. If my view offends you, please prove me wrong, or shut the fk up!!!!!!.......
