Malay Muslims: 83.5% Hate or Dislike Americans
2006-08-21
Chinese Malaysians form 10% of the population, but control 60% of the economy. The other productive sector is the Hindu merchant. Malays are lazy parasites who leach off the sweat of the minorities that they exploit. And now they are exporting their backwardness to Thailand.

THE main findings of the survey:

Islam as the main identity marker of Malaysian Muslims. 72.7 per cent choose being Muslim as their primary identity.

A growing orthodoxy in beliefs

77.3 per cent want stricter syariah (Shariah) laws in Malaysia.

57.3 per cent want the hudud (Islamic penal code) to be implemented.

44.1 per cent want the authorities to monitor and punish immoral behaviour.

71.1 per cent say Malaysians should be allowed to choose their religion, but 97.7 per cent feel that Muslims should not be allowed to leave Islam.

Gender rights

76.6 per cent say men and women have equal rights, but only 55.5 per cent say women can be syariah (Shariah) court judges.

Religious influence

73 per cent say their parents are the strongest influence on their religious beliefs, with religious teachers coming in a far second at 9.4 per cent and religious lectures and sermons at 3.2 per cent.

93 per cent have heard about Islam Hadhari (Hadith) but only 53.3 per cent say they understand it...

Perception of the West

39 per cent choose 'hate' to describe their feelings towards the US, with 44.5 per cent choosing 'dislike'. In total, 83.5 per cent have a negative attitude towards America. A total of 13.4 per cent choose the option 'okay'.

For Europe, 18.8 per cent choose 'hate' to describe their feelings, with 38.2 per cent choosing 'dislike'. A total of 34.3 per cent choose the option 'okay'.

For Australia, it is 18.3 per cent for 'hate', 36.6 per cent for 'dislike' and 35.1 per cent for 'okay'.

#17  Or the country is not a direct democracy.

#16  Article: 57.3 per cent want the hudud (Islamic penal code) to be implemented.

This can't be right. If this were true, Malaysia would already have elected the country's Islamist party to power and implemented Islamic law. The poll is slanted - way slanted.

SS3550: Chinese Malaysians form 10% of the population, but control 60% of the economy.

According to the CIA Factbook, they are 24% of the population.

#15  The 2005 US-Malaysia trade deficit was $23.2 billion or 18% of Malaysian GDP. Why in the world would the US contribute to the economic growth of islamic supremists is beyond me.

Bingo, ed. America must begin withdrawing all financial support and commercial ties with Muslim majority countries. They must be shown the error of their anti-capitalistic ways. Let their economies rot or be dominated by far less benign investors.

#14  I blame Zoolander for trying to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia!

#13  Meanwhile, 96% of Americans really don't give a crap about Malaysia in any way, shape or form.

Most of the remaining 4% just wish they'd take their damn durians somewhere else....

#12  Okay, no more "Made in Malaysia" for me. It's easy since I have to check labels for "Made in France" and "Made in Pakistan" anyway.

#11  I wouldn't really believe that poll as very accurate but it does cast a general picture about the wannabe Ayrabs in Malaysia. The low intensty hatred is kept alive (and cranked up lately over the years)by the educational system and madrassas for political gains. Most non muslims do not dislike the US at all except for a few socialist influenced leftards - some of which must've been the result of US left/liberal exports as well.

The US investment in the electronic industries in the Malaysia free trade zones is where it'll hurt bad if transnational co. like Motorola, Seagate and Intel etc relocates.

#10  The 2005 US-Malaysia trade deficit was $23.2 billion or 18% of Malaysian GDP. Why in the world would the US contribute to the economic growth of islamic supremists is beyond me. I would much rather see that money and rise in living standards go to Thailand or anywhere else but to islamic or communist imperialists. 100% of me say to go pound Saudi sand you more-islamic-than-thou Malayans.

#9  As we have painfully learned from watching the MSM spew polls as propaganda, this means nothing without the details of how the poll was taken such as the composition of the sample, the questions, etc. Unfortunately Snease Shaiting3550's assessment of the population reinforces my impressions from the dealings I've had with the Malaysian military and government folks.

#8  This is Bullshit, don't read too much into it. With statements like:Islam as the main identity marker of Malaysian Muslims it is clear the survey was done by idiots. Sounds to me like they went to a few muzzie communities and asked a few dregs what they thought. Sort of like going to Berkley to do a US survey.

#5  It's so much easier to embrace a gutter religion that tells you it's all the west's fault, rather than actually improve yourself and learn to actually contribute something beneficial to humanity.

#4  There is a 100% chance that all muslims can kiss my ass.

#3  That is good. I hate their Islamic asses too.

Have fun contiuing to fall into oblivion and social decay!

#2  Tell me about the poll after the next natural disaster hits the place. They can be as grateful as the French politicians then.

#1  99.999999 per cent of Americans could care less.
