Two explosions at Brussels Airport, several injured

Ladies and gentlemen, I bid you goodnight.

So you don't think that 60,000,000+ people (from a selection of just 9 countries) finding ISIS to be 'favourable' is worrying? Not to mention the vast amount of people who couldn't decide if they found ISIS unfavourable or not?

When you include all the other countries, you'd probably end up at about 150,000,000 people finding ISIS 'favourable' and that's just a LOW estimate.

Right, because personal anecdotal experience of a tiny cross section of people is really more valuable that global surveys and statistics..

Stop acting like 60,000,000 in just those few countries is just a small minority of people. It may be small percentage-wise, but a number that high is pretty alarming considering this is ISIS we're talking about. Maybe they're not technically supporters and maybe they don't share the same extremist views but they know actually who ISIS are, what they do and what they stand for. Having 60,000,000+ people 'favouring' them (in just that selection of countries) is worrying.

OK. That's a very funny form of 'less than 1% are extremist muslims'

Some (read up to 1 in 4) muslims in middle eastern and Northern African think it justifiable to kill civilians with bombs.

Not sure how it doesn't show that, like ISIS, they support suicide bombing?

Seeing something as good is not supporting them.

These people are the people who have suffered from American intervention and Assad's warcrimes as a result of the Syrian conflict. That's why they may support ISIS, not to mention some of these people live in the middle of nowhere and aren't even aware of ISIL's atrocities.

majority of muslims on that survey have had no interference from america or assad.

I think that 60,000,000 people is an uncertain figure, given that the data was extrapolated from a sample.

I think that seeing ISIS as favourable is not worrying, especially given that 1. these people live in the middle of nowhere and probably aren't even aware of many of ISIL's atrocities 2. ISIS is anti-USA, which is responsible for a lot of problems in their countries and 3. ISIS is fighting against Assad, who is hated by many.

I think that if 60,000,000 people really did support ISIS, we would know for certain that it was true in the news.

Finally, I think the terrorists have succeeded in scaring you into hating Islam because three people blew themselves up in a pretty small attack in Brussels.

1) Didn't we already go through this? I posted their methodology report and the margin of error for each country was between 3.0-5.0%.

2) You're obviously not going to change your mind that people finding ISIS 'favourable' isn't an issue to you. That's fine. Feel free to wallow in your BS explanations.

3) Terrorists haven't changed my opinions on Islam. I've always openly criticised the ideology.

They think that suicide bombing is sometimes justified. That doesn't mean that they support suicide bombing.

There are certain CONDITIONS in which they think that suicide bombing is right.

They don't have to have been interfered directly by them to hate them.

What conditions? 'Defend Islam'? That can be many ways. Can you name just one that would be different to what ISIS see as the correct conditions?

youre apology for preference for IS was due to 'american and intervention and assad war crimes'

is this another back-track from you?


why would a somali be bothered about a syrian? are they bothered about zimbabwe or north korea?

And this folks is why terrorism still occurs - because it works. You have successfully been traumatised into hating Islam, which is exactly what the terrorists want to do.

You don't seem to understand.

"defending Islam" is open to interpretation, ISIS see defending Islam as oppressing free speech by attacking westerners, meanwhile some Muslims may think "defending Islam" as keeping quiet and staying away from criticism - thereby showing that Islam can be peaceful and tolerant.

A terrible shame. Completely needless suffering and death.

Why Belgium? Disenfranchised Muslim men who are seeking a stable identity, most likely, of which there are many in Belgium. To them, ISIS is a thrilling adventure, something which gives them absolute certainty and an absolute identity.

You can't answer the question, can you?

I certainly can't.

One way to defend agsinst this finding is to appeal to the vague notion of defending Islam. Perhaps they had justifiable reasons to support suicide bombing?

But I cannot think of even one hypothetical example of defending Islam with suicide bombing that is at all different from terrorism.
