What the moderate muslim thinks (WORLDWIDE survey)

Comments like this betray a deep misunderstanding of how statistics work,

Now sample size is important within a study and the larger the sample size the more accurate such a study will be.

But, and I'm sure it suprised nobody, we live in a world were it would be very hard to interview a sample size of people that is anywhere close to the actual population size (and that is common within statistics).

However statisticians have several ways to get around such limitations. And this study was done and publicised by a reputable source. If you are going to critise the study size is not a valid one. Try critising the study itself, are the questions overgeneralised have undesirable values been discarded was the sample collection method not truly random. So on so forth.

But pretty much the study is well enough to reasonably trust it. It would be massively unlikely that the study just happened to accidently interview less moderate Muslims, unless less moderate were less common than often touted.

Well the figures show 1.3 billion were surveyed , i don't see any other way of having that figure unless they actually did do that. Explain how the survey is credible?

i definitely can see the passion and obsession you have towards Islam

Seriously, all you do is go on and on and on trying to discredit muslims. Stop. It is just boring, now.

Oh no! someone's been spreading hate facts I can't handle!

He can do what he wants....

Alright, I think it wrong to use these statistics to judge all Muslims worldwide.Many Muslims especially those in western society will disagree. Lots of the statistics are based in countries where the majority have been under threat from terrorism, how do we know these statistics are representative of a whole culture. As a 3rd generation British Muslim I have no problem with people's sexuality, am a feminist and oppose Sharia laws, I am completely against honor killings and believe executions should never be used, especially for something people don't have control over, I think those who convert out of Islam are more amazing than those who remain, as requires way more balls to face the Muslim community after.

So stop using these crap statistics to judge all Muslims !!!

Three separate surveys collected by three separate polling organisations all three showing a majority of British Muslims do not accept non-heterosexuality

Alright I get your point, some British Muslims may agree, but I still think it's wrong to use this to judge ass Muslims.

If the surveys are done properly (eg large enough sample size, randomly collected sample, proper questions ect ect) then it can be reasonably extrapolated to the population as a whole, it's how statistics work in general. If done properly it's actually quite fascinating how small a sample size you need to reasonably (say a 95% confidence interval) state what is true for the overall population.

So do you honestly think this is what all Muslims believe?
