I then joined Republican forums and asked questions about Muslims to see what they thought about us. Awhile ago, I went to Republican forums asking that they be more tolerant of Islam and I got responses like "go back to your country", "you're going to concentration camps and you deserve it", etc. So, I created another account and posed as them to see what they really thought of us.
Here are the results (you may need a myspace account to view them, I'm not sure):

In the end, I got mixed results. For example, on one question, I asked if Muslims should be identified in America with tattoos and armbands, and some conservatives said "yes, you need to identify them for the sake of security", and others said "I thought we weren't living in 1930's Germany".
I kind of pulled a Borat, if that's how you want to think of it. |
Please do not take these results seriously. You are neither neutral, nor a professional. These views represent the target audience you were trying to get with this, which were extremists, and not normal conservatives or normal republicans. If you wish to conduct true polls, the most accurate and most economical place to do so is
this. I personally have used it for work ALOT. So give it a shot. You'd get much better results. Promise.
It would be like Islamica if you are trying to find out the opinion on America. A lot of extremist and misguided kids are on here, and hence your results would be flawed. Because its fairly obvious that I don't want to kill and blow up random people, but some here would approve of that.
