re: Muslim poll responses "Religion of peace" (Pew research)

While I assume it under represents Muslim sentiments, I don't know and don't really care. It's a poll. Polls aren't necessarily reliable and they don't usually do much except get politicians antsy and feed the biases of those who read them. What I do know is that Islam--true Islam--breeds violence and death. It's a false religion and those who follow it are deceived and they are taught to deceive others who get in the way of Allah's will.

Ok just checking

I was going to say, if anything these polls underrepresented the true feelings of Muslims.

From the methods...

In certain instances, regions of countries with high levels of insecurity or limited access were also excluded from the national samples

In addition, higher education was overepresented in a few countries.

And last but not least, I would think it would be very hard to find the most radical Muslims actively engaged in Jihad

I can't think of a single reason why the results would falsely over represent the sentiments of Muslims, but I'm open to suggestions
