Muslims Are No Different, or Why Bill Maher’s Blood Libel Is Bigotry

34. That proves the opposite of what you claimed:

The world’s 1.6 billion Muslims are united in their belief in God and the Prophet Muhammad and are bound together by such religious practices as fasting during the holy month of Ramadan and almsgiving to assist people in need. But they have widely differing views about many other aspects of their faith, including how important religion is to their lives, who counts as a Muslim and what practices are acceptable in Islam, according to a worldwide survey by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life.

The survey, which involved more than 38,000 face-to-face interviews in over 80 languages, finds that in addition to the widespread conviction that there is only one God and that Muhammad is His Prophet, large percentages of Muslims around the world share other articles of faith, including belief in angels, heaven, hell and fate (or predestination). While there is broad agreement on the core tenets of Islam, however, Muslims across the 39 countries and territories surveyed differ significantly in their levels of religious commitment, openness to multiple interpretations of their faith and acceptance of various sects and movements.

Where does this study back your claim that half of all Muslims believe that anyone who doesn't believe what they believe should be killed?

This study could be about Christians, who basically believe the same things. And there certainly are Christians who think all Muslims should be killed for being non-believers. Worse, those 'Christians' actually have gone and killed over one million Muslims when Bush went on his 'crusade' to Iraq.

Many of our very own Christian warriors including some of our Generals, were fully on board with killing those Muslims who never did anything to us. 'Treat them like dogs' said General Miller. And we certainly did worse than that.

Still waiting for the evidence that more than half of the world's Muslims want to kill anyone who does not share their beliefs.
