Negative Perception Of Islam Increasing

Shocking, Simply shocking to the WaPo!

This is like reporting that most Americans had a negative view of Germany in 1944.

As the war in Iraq grinds into its fourth year, a growing proportion of Americans are expressing unfavorable views of Islam, and a majority now say that Muslims are disproportionately prone to violence, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. The poll found that nearly half of Americans — 46 percent — have a negative view of Islam, seven percentage points higher than in the tense months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, when Muslims were often targeted for violence.

This is another no-brainer to anyone with normal thought processes. Of course, if your brains have been carefully washed by P.C., this might not be the case.

Conservative and liberal experts said Americans’ attitudes about Islam are fueled in part by political statements and media reports that focus almost solely on the actions of Muslim extremists.

Oh, it’s just negative press reports “focused almost solely on the actions of Muslim extremists. Helloooo, WaPo? Have you noticed that it’s Muslim extremists that are making the terrorist attacks around the world, including places like North Carolina along with the ones in north Iraq, north Israel, north India, north Pakistan, etc.
Perhaps the reportage just can’t find examples of Christian extremist attacks on the Religion of Piss “Peace” to present a “balanced” view.

The article goes on to cite some anecdotal support of the poll results, with the usual P.C. inference that it’s a bunch of ignorant yokels that are tilting the attitudinal balance against the Islamos.
