Poll Finds Sharp Partisan Divide on Islam-Violence Connection

In this country, we have separation of church and state. In the mulim world the two go hand in hand. If you were to go into certain areas of Michigan the separation blurs.. Why is this.. Its because these people do not want to assimilate. They want to bring their sharia law to this country..They want to dominate us and turn this country into their Califate.. You either become one in Islam or you become a member of the Indimnity class(you have to pay a tax to be in any other religion,) and you will never have as many rights as a muslim.. Educate yourselves people!!!

I really do not know if Muslims living in America are a terrorist threat to our country. However, if one looks at the events of the last ten years it appears to me that it is a subject worth looking into. Political correctness should not be the rationale for not holding these hearings. It is a fact that Muslims have been involved in terrorist events that have killed and maimed thousands of innocent people. It is also a fact that many people following the tenants of Islam are contributing to the success of this country. Therefore if possible a hearing on the true facts of Muslim participation as it affects this country may prove to be worthwhile. How can we separate the worthy Muslims that work and contribute from those that have the mission of destroying America?

Since 1968 (43 years) when Sirhan Sirhan (a muslim) murdered RFK, we've endured decades of muslim terrorism.
If the American muslim community is in fact against the radical element of islam, where have their actions & voices been ? ? ? Which raises the question, of why American muslims have done nothing the distance themselves from the radical mindset of Middle Eastern muslims ? Yet during these last 4 decades American muslims actions have told us they want sharia law in America, want to have a mosque at the twin towers site, and a long list of demands that favor their culture over America's culture & laws. Islam in my opinion isn't a religion, but rather a quite hostile government, not contained in traditional borders, but seeking to dominate democracies by using their freedoms to exploit the road for it's attempt at world domination.

It is very clear that some in America are so afraid of insulting anyone that they would rather we bury our heads in the sand and take attacks from our enemies as they come instead of trying to stop them. The facts and attacks and attempted attacks on our soil speak for themselves. We bury our heads under a blamket of political correctness at our own peril and potential loss of innocent American lives.

I know of no terrorist attacks carried out by Mormons, Mennonites, Buddists or Pagans. We can pretend that religion has no bearing, but for Muslim terrorists, it's often all about jihad.
What other religion has anything like jihad?

when i was youg i was taught to respect all people in our world, no matter where they came from, but sadly that has changed since the 60's. then the aggitators of the world came in and started telling us how bad we all were,for our lifestyle.and we should be ashmed of our country,of who we were, well let me tell you, we had a wonederful country,we all worked hard, we had a safe country, now we have to worry about our neighbors,friends thinking about blowing up something or someone.

Fascinating poll results -- Is it time yet to replace the donkey symbol of the Democratic Party with the ostrich?

If the hearings were successful and the radicals were rooted out, the peaceful muslims would have a better and more trusted relationship with the American people . I do believe that most peaceful muslims would agree but it is the groups like CAIR and others that are stirring up the protests. I think that the protestors should be the first ones to be investigated because they seem to have something to hide. I am puzzled about how the left comes out against the hearings. What's in it for them????

the captain (president) of the ship (country) sets the tone for the ship...think about it....

It's not as if we WANT to think that Islam is violent? The fact is we've got enough episodes of violence directly caused by Muslim's to think otherwise? But what's becoming just as dangerous as the average jihadist in America.....political correctness.
