Well that's not bad then, 82% do. Polling at 82% is pretty good no matter what the question.

How representative is this of muslims as a whole in both muslim and non-muslim majority countries? Yes, 82% support for ISIS is extremely disturbing.

Curious to see what ISIS support is like amongst other muslim countries.

You do realize you reversed the numbers, don't you? What's up with that?

Here's one from Pew, but it's from the spring.

Things have changed considerable since then, I think. Especially in places like France and Israel.

Also this weasel response from Pakistan is suspicious.

$1:

Only 28% in Pakistan had an unfavorable view of ISIS, and a majority of Pakistanis (62%) had no opinion on the extremist group.

That's about how many Republicans consider Obama to be a Kenyan Muslim, for contrast. Although I do understand that one of those has more serious potential consequence.

Eighteen percent of Muslim Arabs living in Israel do not consider the Islamic State terror group to be a terrorist organization and are not ashamed of its extremist Islamist ideology

The article is fucked. as my quote above is confusing as hell It's the first two sentences of article.

Confusing if you're stoned maybe. It's pretty clear otherwise. Guess FD wouldn't have posted it if the headline was "82% of ... consider Islamic State to be a terrorist organization." Where's the fun in that?

[ccga3359]

I stand by my confusion as the article states that 18% do not consider ISIS a terror organization yet are not ashamed of it extremist ideology. I did not reverse the numbers perhaps you did.

[andyt]

Really. I gotta expalain it to you? 18% do not consider it a terror org (ie they think it's a legitimate organization) which is why they do not feel ashamed of it's aims. There's no yet there.

Do you get it now? No wonder you guys spew the stuff you do.

I'm curious what percentage of muslims OUTSIDE of Israel would think highly of ISIS.

Seeing as upwards of 70% of Israeli muslims would NOT move to an independent Palestine.

Yep I got it now. Thanks. Momentary lapse of reason.
