Pew Center Muslim-American Survey??

[FAH1223]

http://pewresearch.org/pubs/483/muslim-americans

Did anybody hear about this survey? I find it totally inaccurate and way too small a sample (only 1,050 people) too gage what Muslims think or how many Muslims there are in the US. There is only one Muslim invovled in it.

===Amaney Jamal, assistant professor in the Department of Politics at Princeton University and a specialist in the study of Muslim public opinion, serves as senior project advisor.===

Who? Has anybody heard of her?

Plus they had four out of seven of "outside advisors" that were muslim.

The project's outside advisory board includes researchers with expertise in the study of Muslims in America:

Ihsan Bagby, University of Kentucky
Zahid H. Bukhari, Muslims in American Public Square Project (MAPS) and the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University
Ingrid Matteson, Hartford Seminary
Farid Senzai, Institute for Social Policy and Understanding

Other Dr. Mattson and Dr. Bagby I never heard of these people. Some of the "findings" of the survey are:

* Roughly two-thirds (65%) of adult Muslims in the U.S. were born elsewhere. A relatively large proportion of Muslim immigrants are from Arab countries

huh? Most Immigrant Muslims are from south Asia not Arab gulf.

*Based on data from this survey, along with available Census Bureau data on immigrants' nativity and nationality, the Pew Research Center estimates the total population of Muslims in the United States at 2.35 million.

Only 2 million.You got to be kidding! That said they used "Census Bureau data"..the CB is NOT allowed to ask a person religion only if they were born in another country. So basically they assumed that Most people who come form countries with a Muslim majority were muslim and Most muslims have typical muslim names. Which totally leaves anyone who is a muslim who doesn't have a typical muslim name and someone who doesn't fill out CB surveys.

* In addition, younger Muslims in the U.S. are much more likely than older Muslim Americans to say that suicide bombing in the defense of Islam can be at least sometimes justified.

That's just more neo-con propaganda. I have never heard this so where did they get this from? People will be using this survey for years against us the same they use kabbani's remarks to congress a few years ago against us. ISNA even has a link to survey on website. I can't beleive they're happy with bias "survey".

Don't bother me with polls...I am about done with polls...Rumson poll claims the Chimp is now at 33% approval....

So why not impeach him?

Nixon was impeached at 36% poll approval....

Yes, it does.

Its more propaganda in the respects of saying most of these Muslims come from the Arab Gulf, which contradicts many other research which says the Indian Subcontinent and S/E Asia...

and 1000 is usually good enough sample for a survey, but if its about a certain (Muslim) people, then it should be 1000 Muslim people.

not one or a couple outside advisors.

Hey Kid, ever been called to take this sort of poll? Do you know how it is taken?

[*Arabman]

[Yes, it does.]

It shouldn't bother you. Surveys mean little or nothing. For example, most American citizens want the US to get out of Iraq; is that going to happen? No. Another example, 36% of Americans believe 9/11 was an inside job; does their government care about that? No, it dismisses what they believe as conspiracy. Surveys do not change the status quo. The status quo is set by corporate/interest/lobbyist groups.

This is because Nation of Islam, who's "Islam" status is questionable, was not counted.

I am not surprised at all. The younger members of Somalinet are also more inclined to justify suicide bombings and such.

Proof yet again Muslims, born and educated in America, support the callous murder of civilians by our sworn enemies bent on the destruction of our civilization. Time to take up congressman Goode's policy of ending Muslim immigration?

Great to see Tucker calling the Islamofascists on it:
