What are the percentages of Muslims who feel the statements
made are true
and representative is the important thing. How many
recognize that the
statements made my their co-religionists are false and how
many believe
them. Are the terrorists winning the hearts and minds of
their own people
while they are scaring non-Muslims into silence? When
statistics are thrown
around you need to know the parameters and baselines, not
just numbers like
12%, 43%, etc.
And the 43%, according to the poll, did not think Islamic
extremism was the
problem but Islam itself.
"Pollster Maurice de Hond found that only 12 percent of
those questioned
thought the film represented Islam accurately, but 43
percent agreed Islam
was a serious threat to the Netherlands over the long
term."
You qualifying the statement with Islamic extremism is not
reflected in the
article and shows your take on it, not necessarily the take
of the people
polled.
