Re: Killing for religion is justified, say third of Muslim students
This poll is a typical media distortion and manipulation. For a Muslim, when fellow Muslims are attacked and killed, it becomes incumbent on the Muslims to fight back and kill the oppressors and invaders. This is Jihad, and a part of our religion. It is also a part of Christian religion, and it comes under the heading of "The Just War", something which has been approved officially by the Church.
I urge you to read the book "Who Speaks for Muslims". It is written by Gallup Poll, which is the most authoritative polling service in the world today. That book polled the 1 billion Muslims, and the results show that the vast majority of Muslims are moderate. As for the radicalized minority amongst Muslims, Gallup Poll also polled Non-Muslim Americans and found that a greater percentage of Non-Muslim Americans were radicalized than Muslims!
This stupid poll posted by Robert fails to show how many Christians would believe that killing in a holy war could be justified. I bet you anything you will find a higher percentage of people who say yes. The fact that most Americans agreed to invading Iraq is proof of this!
