That doesn't say anything horrible about our faith per se because 99.9% of Muslims do not commit terrorism. So what exactly is your point? To help garner more hatred towards Muslims?

One more thing, a poll was taken after 9/11 where 40% of British Muslims said Osama was right to attack the U.S. Just because 99.9% (and I believe your number is off but whatever) of Muslims aren't physically strapping suicide vests on, doesn't mean that they are peaceful.

Ok I will address this point. It's a valid point worthy of addressing now!

This poll was taken not before 9/11 but AFTER 9/11 and AFTER Bush began his international hatred campaign against Muslims. Bush didn't say he hated Bush but his actions and repeated mention of Islam in the media, in his speeches, etc..made so many people associate terrorism with Islam, thus having the effect of demonizing our religion. Many Muslims were so angry with Bush as a result. I think this poll reflects their anger. If you had taken a similar poll prior to 9/11 I am certain you would never have gotten the same result. I will never, not ever, defend any Muslim who says that Osama was right to attack the U.S. It is totally forbidden in Islam to kill innocent people. Scholars have said this world-wide over and over and over again...but of course Osama does not care. This is why he is forbidden from ever stepping foot into Saudi Arabia. He was expelled from S. Arabia a long time ago. But this poll reflects alot of anger against Bush's policies, not the true sentiment against Americans.
