Jim, while I am sure you are right on the subject of Islamaphobia, you are barking up the wrong tree with the opinion polls. Most of the stats detailed above were collected either by NOP or ICM research. Regardless of whether the polls were published on a white supremacist site, emel or the beano, they are, or seem to be, genuine opinion polls. None of the articles you quote refute their findings. They simply repeat things that you have said before and most of us already know without producing any facts or figures. You may well be right if you say the opinion polls are incorrect, but to argue against published figures without any proof is futile.

Fred, thanks for chipping in. Your posts are usually reasonable and well thought out. What you are saying is very true but, unless I am mistaken, no-one has said that all Moslems are terrorists or murderers. I cannot speak for others but my view is the same as yours. The vast majority are decent, hardworking, respectable people. However, the vast majority of Germans in the 1930s were the same. They didn't stand up to the thugs and look what happened. I am sure the vast majority of Cambodians were decent folk but in the 1970s an extremist faction gained power and the rest is history. I was pleased at the arrival of the 'Arab Spring' where those ordinary Moslems said enough is enough of the despotic and fanatical leaders. But it seems to have lost momentum. We need to help them in any way we can to rid themselves of those who approve of and sanction murder. Just like we need all the help we can get to rid ourselves of our warmongering politicians - of all parties!

Cheers
