I constantly hear the question "where are the moderate Muslims speaking out against the extreme ones?" Besides the fact that anyone with the ability to use Google could look this up, I found a specific article...
www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/11/17/in-nations-with-significant-muslim-populations-much-disdain-for-isis/
This is a Pew study that shows that Muslim populations generally dislike ISIS.
"In no country surveyed did more than 15% of the population show favorable attitudes toward Islamic State. And in those countries with mixed religious and ethnic populations, negative views of ISIS cut across these lines.'
"In Lebanon, a victim of one of the most recent attacks, almost every person surveyed who gave an opinion had an unfavorable view of ISIS, including 99% with a very unfavorable opinion. Distaste toward ISIS was shared by Lebanese Sunni Muslims (98% unfavorable) and 100% of Shia Muslims and Lebanese Christians."
More people in America believe in creationism...
The idea that radical Islam is representative of Islam is simply false.
