Gallup: Many Americans Harbor Strong Bias Against U.S. Muslims


These are pathetic, ignorant, cowardly jackasses, who do not even deserve to be called American.

Gallup: Many Americans Harbor Strong Bias Against U.S. Muslims:

NEW YORK A new Gallup poll finds that many Americans -- what it calls 'substantial minorities' -- harbor 'negative feelings or prejudices against people of the Muslim faith' in this country. Nearly one in four Americans, 22%, say they would not like to have a Muslim as a neighbor.

While Americans tend to disagree with the notion that Muslims living in the United States are sympathetic to al-Qaeda, a significant 34% believe they do back al-Qaeda. And fewer than half -- 49% -- believe U.S. Muslims are loyal to the United States.

Almost four in ten, 39%, advocate that Muslims here should carry special I.D. That same number admit that they do hold some 'prejudice' against Muslims. Forty-four percent say their religious views are too 'extreme.'

In every case, Americans who actually know any Muslims are more sympathethic.
