MUSLIM MINDSET

The following polls have been collected from all over the world on the subject of Islam and islamic thinking.

They cover the areas of terrorism, 9/11, honour killings, women’s roles, Sharia Law, Sharia punishments, alQaeda, suicide bombings, assimilation, killing of Jews, the Holocaust, attacks on America, use of violence to protect Islam,  legislative protection of Islam and belonging.

In general you will see that Muslim countries uphold Islamic Sharia values far more than those in the West.

Surveys of Muslims living in the west think of themselves strongly as Muslims. In the UK 81% of British Muslims think of themselves as Muslim first and British second. In America 49% say they are Muslim first American second. 33% of Austrian Muslims say that it is impossible to be both a Muslim and European.

Hardcore Islamists comprise 9% of Britain’s Muslim population. Another 29% would “aggressively defend” Islam. 11% of Muslims in Britain find violence an acceptable means to an end. These are all powerful statistics in light of current world circumstances.
