European Islamophobia

[derspiess]

Now I wouldn't argue with the contention that there is an association of Islam & terrorism in the minds of many Westerners.  Islam hasn't exactly done the best PR to combat that. 

What I'm curious about is what % of Westerners think Muslim people generally like terrorism.  I know that sounds like splitting hairs but I honestly think there could be a difference between the two.

[Malthus]

You mean, like the polls cited by the Christian Science Monitor article?

Sifting through that now.  Not seeing anything specifically cited that meets my criteria.

Public opinion surveys in the United States and Europe show that nearly half of Westerners associate Islam with violence and Muslims with terrorists.

Admittedly, I haven't seen any polls, and the authour does mnot link any. Maybe the author is full of shit, I have no idea. But assuming s/he isn't, is this the sort of data you are looking for?

think of what would happen to gays in America, if there was a revolution and right-wing "Tea Party" fundies seized power. .

They wouldn't be able to get married anymore, but would pay lower income taxes.

Cant agree with that. The train has already left the station on that one. No going back.

So the only affect would be that they would pay lower income taxes, then.

Don't care about the tax part. Just the other. Much to the TP religious fundies, no stopping. As it should be.

Assuming the Tea Party is willing to take direction from 11B4V and his ilk.

If by ilk, you mean centrist, guilty as charged.

Do half the people you know think "all Muslims are with the terrorists?"  I don't know a single person that thinks this way.

You know grallon!

Even simpler than that, I meant "people who'd say no backing out on gay marriage."

Good glad we agree about no going back.

It's a rather odd sight to see some North American posters taking Europeans to task over they're attitudes to muslim and islam, given the overtly racists attitudes expressed here by a few of those same posters in the run up to, and the immediate aftermath of Iraq war.

Convenient isn't it. 

Head over to the other thread, and I've another question to pose of our formerly pro-interventionist posters (who were obviously nothing of the sort in the first place).

Yeah your criticism is convenient. Nameless Americans saying unspecified things.
