Predictable from Bill Maher-Interfaith Post

14. thanks for that information.

While those survey results are interesting and of concern, that can not be translated into saying 10-20% of Muslims around the world support what happened in Paris. The questions are vague, as you can see.

It is important to note that rates of support under any circumstances for suicide bombings have fallen dramatically in certain regions over the 22 year period. It also very important to note that a significant percentage of people said they don't know or refused to answer when asked about support for extremist groups like the Taliban and AlQueda. It is known that to express a lack of support in some dominated areas would be a death wish.

But what is most important is that an overwhelming number of the people surveyed opposed violence in the name of Islam and that number is growing.

In many of the countries surveyed, clear majorities of Muslims oppose violence in the name of Islam. Indeed, about three-quarters or more in Pakistan (89%), Indonesia (81%), Nigeria (78%) and Tunisia (77%), say suicide bombings or other acts of violence that target civilian are never justified.

It is irresponsible and inflammatory for Maher to make such a statement and put it into some context.

But that is how he is making his money these days, inflaming the anti-muslim fervor that grows in the this country.
