Muslims "in the crosshairs of bigotry"

"most muslims aren't like that"? a 2011 UK poll suggested that 100% of muslims asked think homosexuality is "unacceptable" - and 75% of them thought people should be criminalised for insulting the prophet muhammad...and 50% thought gay people should be jailed. it's hard to not generalise with figures like those

Who was asked in this poll? My best friend is a Muslim and she wasn't asked to take part in this poll in 2011. Can't be representative of all Muslims then can it

This White privileged girl was raped and set on fire by a Muslim



Coloured people are great at playing victim, while Whites always play the villain role. Even when we're being mass raped and murdered.

this is proof that the problem is extremists taking the quran and interpreting it in their own, evil way, and not Islam

this also does not condone rape anywhere

yeah the islamophobes who I blocked (QE2, inhuman) have been reporting me like crazy, probably was removed

complete with citations and the lot

either your friend is secretly homophobic or you're lying, assuming they took part in this.
I'm not saying that there are *some* muslims out there that aren't homophobic, but the *vast* majority of them, within the 90%~ figure, *are*. this is why you have this poll with 100% homophobia rates amongst a sample size of 500 muslims (in different areas)

Your article says 500 Muslims were sampled, how is that representative of anything also I'm not lying she really wasn't surveyed

Well it is representative because there's this thing called statistics where you can make the sample size smaller to be representative of the whole population. Are you really going to argue the validity of polling done by a verified research organisation?

Are you familiar with randomised sampling for the purposes of statistical analysis?
Basically a sample size of a couple of thousand with give accurate data to within a certain level of confidence and accuracy (usually around 5% for most surveys)
They do not have to ask every Muslim, or voter, or butter user, the questions in order to get a reasonably accurate idea of how most Muslims, voters or butter users would respond to the questions.

The thing is, market research is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide, and its success depends on their predictions being borne out in reality. Simply rejecting these surveys because they don't correspond to your personal position, of that of people you know, is pointless. Yours views are represented in the survey, but you are in a minority. That is all. Not everybody can be in the majority about everything, by definition. It's just how things work.

nah, come on, give me a guess of a figure. or else I'm going to assume you mean something like 95% are unaccepting. in which case, your little anecdote was very pointless in proving that the homophobia wasn't as huge as it is.

Ask your friends if they pray five times a day and when they last time were in mosque. May be they are not true Muslims...

So they don't "completely accept homosexuality". Because of their religion.

Way to refute an argument bro!

Except that you said that they don't completely accept it. For religious reasons.

probably in the 70-85% range in the UK. my point was this 100% figure is ridiculous.

why not at least 90%? how many "liberal" muslims do you think exist? bear in mind that basically all muslims are raised in an environment reminiscent of the culture of the middle east in the UK, where people are *killed* for homosexuality. liberalism was based on europe, developed over hundreds of years. liberalism isn't exactly something that a muslim, raised in a traditionally muslim environment, will just suddenly decide to switch to

yep, all do! Most have completed Hajj at 13, and all observe ramadan.
