Europe
74% of French say Islam is 'intolerant'
2013-01-25
I offer this not to endorse the survey or the findings. There has been a disconnect between the European nomenklatura and ordinary Europeans over Islam, just as there has been in America. This survey illustrates that divide.
ROME, JANUARY 24 - A new survey by Paris-based Ipsos research company on Thursday showed 74% of French respondents believe the Muslim religion is ''intolerant'' and incompatible with their social values.

The survey, published on the Le Monde newspaper website, also showed eight out of 10 French people believe the Islamic religion tries to impose its views on others, 10% believe a majority of Muslims are fundamentalists, and another 44% believe a many but not all Muslims are fundamentalists. Most respondents did not know how to define fundamentalism, however.

The data varied across age groups and political affiliations, but represents a majority in each category of respondents.

#10  Being French, they have all sorts of strong opinions. From Ynet:

French poll: 40% say Jews too powerful in business

More than 40% of France's population believe that Jews have "too much power in the business world," according to a survey on anti-Semitism in France conducted by the World Zionist Organization ahead of the International Day for Countering Anti-Semitism, which will be marked on January 27.

The poll also shows that 47% think French Jews are "more loyal to Israel than to the country they live in" and that 19% of young men up to the age of 24 have negative sentiments towards the Jews of France, while 43% of people with higher education expressed positive feelings towards them.

#8  it's only 18%, once you subtract out the Muslims. No, I was right the first time


Once you subtract the Commies (who have allied with every enemy of France? Nazis included since the Party was founded) and the Greens (Commies in disguise who are also very pro-Araba and Pro-Paleo you can substract another 15%. There are only 3% netally incompetente. Unless you consider Commies and Greens to be mentally incompetent. I do.

#6  26% of the French are mentally incompetent and belong in care institutions. Or maybe it's only 18%, once you subtract out the Muslims. No, I was right the first time.

One and the same.

#2  EH, that's objectively, explicitly, in writing, speech, thought & mind intolerant.

Most respondents did not know how to define fundamentalism And why should they? The Muzzies themselves can't/won't define it for the simple reason that if they did they would have to admit that the Gospel according to Mo IS FUNDAMENTAL. So anyone who purports to believe in Islam is, by definition, a fundamentalist.

#1  Even in moderate, liberated and allied Afghanistan ideological deviation from Islam carries the death penalty.

Islam is objectively intolerant, or else the terms tolerance and intolerance are meaningless letter sequences.
