1.5 million muslims in the UK
32% of Muslim students support killing for Islam
40% support Sharia law
20% have sympathy with the "feelings and motives" of the suicide bombers who attacked London
98% of population think it's okay to dictate to women what they can wear through force of the law
54% of population want the death penalty to return
Perhaps we should be addressing the barbaric beliefs held by the majority of our citizens before we start chastising an entire population of people based on what a minority of them believe.
Who am I, policy director for EDL?So going by your numbers it's actually most Muslims the edl is against
That's nice, I was discussing Islamists, not one of the many political pressure groups that appeared overnight to confront themI've got acquaintances in the edl, ex mates, the only thing I've got against them is their dumbness and willingness to act based upon poorly reasoned input
The intentions of the Islamist groups are not a result of stupidity but one born out of their backward culture. I think the people they intend to kill and the culture they intend to destroy do care about their hate.tbh I couldn't care less whether Muslims hate me, let's face it they have good reason to hate the actions of my country and if they hate me it is because they are poor at thinking too, like their brothers in dumbness the edl.
You type the words into google and that gives you the web pages they came from. You then check the polling organisations credibility, then confirm the sample size is statistically meaningful and on a par with other surveys. You can also correlate the findings with related results from other groups to see if anything is grossly misrepresented. Or you could just post about a mate and what he said.Source?
Misleading question/conclusion - that's just about banning a culture's misogynist form of dress which is incompatible on many levels with our culture.98% of population think it's okay to dictate to women what they can wear through force of the law
Misleading question/conclusion - that is for paedos, child abusers and police killers, not in the case of almost all muslim countries for homosexuals, apostates and for women who get raped.54% of population want the death penalty to return
Nobody is chastising an entire population, we are talking about a percentage of the population. However I don't think we are talking about a minority either.before we start chastising an entire population of people based on what a minority of them believe.

If you'd taken part in a few more debates you'd notice these are often quoted. I'm not writing a dissertation so if you wanted to dispute them then it's a few seconds work for you. I'm happy to defend any of my posts so I don't see why I need to provide sources for everything when I'm already happy to quote them.When you quote statistics it's good to provide the source in your post rather than just presenting them as fact.
Yes.Have you done any of this? As it's you presenting the statistic you should be able to justify its validity.

If you want something more left wing, the Guardian commissioned something similar
http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Muslim_Statistics_-_Shariah
(of 500 muslims) 61 per cent wanted Islamic courts - operating on sharia principles
(of 10003 muslims #Populus)
37% of 16 to 24-year-olds said they would prefer sharia law,
a third of 16 to 24-year-olds believed that those converting to another religion should be executed
These polls mostly tie up with each other and don't appear to be particularly biased
I want to see a poll done nationwide to see how many Muslims support freedom of expression from other religions and for gays and apostates.
I think its been asked before what are the EDL and likes doing for homosexual rights in orthodox catholic countries in Africa and South America ?
What are the apostasy figures in Islam ?
Of course, we should interview all 2,700,000 muslims because professional polling companies really don't have a clue what they are doing despite all coming up with roughly the same answers. Do some research, what do most polling companies use as a sample size.As I understand it the UK has 2.7m Muslims according to the 2011 Census, so 500 being interviewed and we don't even know where or who seems a serious leap of faith to draw any conclusions especially a figure like 61%
Well it's kicking off in Afghanistan at the moment because some bat**** MP wants all the Christian converts executed for it.On apostasy how many times in the last century has the punishment been carried out ?
Does EDL even look like a political party to you?I think its been asked before what are the EDL and likes doing for homosexual rights in orthodox catholic countries in Africa and South America ?
Well it's kicking off in Afghanistan at the moment because some bat****e cleric wants all the Christian converts executed for it
I have no agenda but to live in peace and I call out bigotry wherever I see it.
You have a serious slant that you struggle to see beyond and I feel it is irrational, we live in the same society and you have taken particular view point regardless of the facts.
You hang on the words of some extreme scholars and then apply to that to the whole of Islam.
I have no agenda either but personally I like to call out closet paedophilia wherever I see it.I have no agenda but to live in peace and I call out bigotry wherever I see it.
Who? quote somebody so they can reply.
I'm not struggling with anything, don't pretend you are omniscient here. None of you have challeged anything in any of my posts (or Rofflays), you just chuck around words like bigot and racist as if that was an "argument", you are a joke.have a serious slant that you struggle to see beyond
No, I'm applying it to the people that say it and the people that follow it. Hence the pollsYou hang on the words of some extreme scholars and then apply to that to the whole of Islam.
Christians look OK to me, it's all jam, cake and handing out blankets to the homeless. To be fair muslims hand out alms to Romanian beggars, which is why we can't get rid of them via deportation as they keeep coming back for more alms.The way I see it is people only hang on to their holy books to further their own agenda not for the good of everyone.
And when right wing Christians present their views they are also shot down in here.Homosexuals have existed ever since humans have existed and all religions have taken a particular hatred for them, Islam is no different
Yes the death rate amongst Christians in Muslim African countries is appalling, hundreds every month I think.and as I have stated before look at the African countries and they are as bad if not worse.
Dream on, nobody is saying that.I prefer to look at the big picture rather than isolated events before I claim "they are all like that"
here you goOn apostasy - you clearly are struggling to find any recent examples or you don't know what it actually means
In 2004, Prince Charles called a meeting of leading Muslims to discuss the issue. All the Muslim leaders at that meeting agreed that the penalty in sharia is death. The hope was that they would issue a public declaration repudiating that doctrine, but not one of them did.
I ask for facts and numbers as they tell the real story rather than slanted interpretations by commentators who have an agenda. I can draw my own conclusions rather than be told what to think.
I am no scholar in Islam and as I understand there is no single entity to provide a universal interpretation of what is written in the Koran, hence why there are as many sects in Islam as there are in Christianity all with what they interpret. Like I said these interpretations are made by men who want to further something for themselves rather than the community.
If these fatwas are so binding then why is Salman still alive given there are 1 billion Muslims baying for his blood, this all kicked off in the 80's - like I said the facts speak for themselves.
The Mrs and I saw Richard Dawkins on his book tour for the God Complex a few years ago and he was equally disparaging about all religions but guess which narrative has hung around - I wonder why ?
I have no fear that Muslims will take over our society, as that will never happen they just don't have numbers
You haven't so far acknowledged anything said to you, or when any of your points are disproved, you just change direction?I can draw my own conclusions rather than be told what to think.
Something like 500 in Islam (can't find the source atm), maybe 30 in Christianity? (excluding cults), Islam is a disorganised mess with no intent other than assimilation.hence why there are as many sects in Islam as there are in Christianity

Christians huffed and puffed a bit, but muslims are still killing people, which group do you think deserves more attention?The Mrs and I saw Richard Dawkins on his book tour for the God Complex a few years ago and he was equally disparaging about all religions but guess which narrative has hung around - I wonder why ?
