Guchha,
what a ignorant racist pig you are! sorry for the words but couldn't help it. there is a limit to ignorance and irrationality.

you sound like one islamophobic but failed to learn and realize that the term 'islamophobia' is deceptive and the phobia is actually illogical.

the world media is saturated with the terms islamic fundamentalism, islamic radicalism and islamic terrorism, causing all the havoc or negative backlash against believers of the religion. we need to separate 'islamic' out of these generally unwelcome terms. maybe the discontent is not with the islam, but with the very bad aspects associated with the religion. negative stereotypes abound because the majority of those perpetrating world terrorism such as al qaeda are Moslems.

but does it mean that all the people in islam have to bear the responsibility for the unruly characteristics of some of the people in the religion, who have nothing to do with the moderate lots? certainly not! it may be only a coincidence that the majority of world terrorists are Moslems. it's not ethical to associate islam with the unruly characteristics followed by some of its less moderate believers!

learn something about islam before making your stupid ignorant comments here, foolio!

awatar,
i mean no advocacies for islam but no disrespect to the religion either. but from what i have learnt, some of the fundamentalists have mis-interpreted Koran. A few selected verses from the Koran are often misquoted to perpetuate the myth that islam promote violence, and extorts its followers to kill those outside the pale of the islam. some of those verses were created when Moslems were waging a war against the Mushriqs or Pagans of Makkah and
hence those hate ensuing quotes. but one has to learn and comprehend the essence of Koran in depth to understand that it does not actually relay vehement hatred towards other believers. A little knowledge is dangerous.

gundaa,
fair point. in fact, i was thinking the same. cannot generalize this study for the whole of the US as the sample population was not distributed throughout all regions, states and cities. but it's certainly a teaser for sure.
