Our terrorism double standard: After Paris, let’s stop blaming Muslims ...

Here is a pew research poll asking of muslims, among other things, their opinions on stoning for adultery, and their support for killing anyone that happens to leave the faith:

I decided to look at those numbers in greater depth. My focus was specifically on the "death for apostasy" part of the poll, as that is a question that directly ties into a core aspect of their religious belief (whereas stoning for adultery might have some more secular beliefs behind it as well..).

I think it's fair to say that if you believe someone should die for leaving your faith, that such a viewpoint is not very tolerant, and is in fact rather dangerous.

First, I took the population of each country as a whole, and then I isolated just the muslim members of each country. After that, I just calculated the raw totals of muslims that answered in the affirmative regarding death for apostasy. Just basic math here, simply multiplying the percentage stated on the poll versus the total population of the countries muslims:

(The population and demographic information come from wikipedia)

Turkey

Population: 74 million (98% muslim)

72.5 million muslims

Number of Muslims beleiving that someone should die if they leave the faith: 3.6 million

Egypt

Population: 90 million (90% identify as muslim)

81 million muslims

Intolerant/Dangerous Beliefs: 68 million

Jordan

Population: 6 million (92% muslim)

5,500000 muslims

Intolerant/Dangerous Beliefs: 4.7 million

Lebanon

Population: 4 million (60% muslim)

2.4 million muslims

Intolerant/Dangerous Beliefs: 144,000 (good job lebanon)

Indonesia

Population: 237,400,000 (86% muslim)

204 million muslims

Intolerant/Dangerous Beliefs: 61 million

Pakistan

Population: 180 million (97%)

174 million muslims

Intolerant/Dangerous Beliefs: 132 million

Nigeria

Population: 170 million (50% muslim)

85 million muslims

Intolerant/Dangerous Beliefs: 42.5 million

___

Total Muslims in these Countries: ~624,400,000 (Nearly 40% of ALL muslims in the world btw)

Total Muslims that believe you should be killed for leaving their religion: ~311,944,000 (50% of muslims polled)

Conclusion:

We only looked at 7 countries. We didn't include Syria, many north african muslim countries, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, and many other countries that no doubt also have very extreme believers in Islam. Even so, without even considering those other nations, we already have a hard number of at least 20% of all muslims world wide, being completely intolerant in their view of religion. They believe you should be put to death if you leave the faith. If we were to look at some of the other countries listed above, this number may even be higher, and probably closer to 30-35%.

.

While these intolerant/psychotic muslims are a minority, they are a very sizable portion of the muslim faith. They are not "extremists" or a fringe group of paltry numbers.

not all religions are created equal, or exist in a state of absolute sameness with other worldwide philosophies. Islam is qualitatively, objectively, a religion with more extremist and violent members. We are talking on order of half a billion people.

Stop putting your head in the sand, Islam is a violent religion with fucked up backwards beliefs that does not fit with the modern world.

They are killing their fellow Muslims in the ME. ISIS considers many other Muslims to be heretics. That's a concept you are familiar with, isn't it?

That's one of the major reasons there are Muslim refugees fleeing the region.

ISIS is also striking back against the non-Muslim nations (like France) that are waging war on them in the ME.

so you admit your argument was fucking stupid......thank you......
 
The OP has a rather facile take on things. When the 'imperialist' west props up dictators in the ME, it irks radical Muslims and liberal westerners equally: the former because secular despotism is the only thing that has kept radical Islam at bay in the region; the latter because, for some strange reason liberals tend to side with radical
Islam against the west.

The body count comparisons fail [ie, purposely omit for propaganda purposes---see the last sentence in the above paragraph] to account for the objectives of the responsible parties. Put simply, the west kills civilians by accident and radical Islam targets them, purposely.

The west feels bad about bombing mistakes or what have you; whereas, radical Islamists only feel bad that they couldn't kill more innocent civilians.

Radical Islam is a death cult. The west will either crush it or learn to live with consequences of its present paralysis in dealing with it.
