America, we have a problem.
America, we have a problem.
The Cygnal poll is unique in that it polled Muslims in America as a separate group about the Hamas attack on Israel during which the Islamic terrorists massacred civilians, raped and kidnapped women, and killed and kidnapped children.
28% of Muslims in America strongly agree that Hamas was justified whle 29% somewhat agree. On the other side, 16% strongly disagree while 25% somewhat disagree.
Notably, Muslims in America have been following the situation fairly closely, with 44% saying that they have a high awareness of Hamas, 66% believe they’re well informed about the conflict, and 65% believing that they are informed about the Hamas, Fatah lineup of ‘Palestinian’ terror politics.
Support for Hamas per se is not a given.
Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh has a 38% favorability among Muslims in America and 34% unfavorable. (Unlike the 7% favorable among Jews, and 12% favorable among Evangelicals, the Muslims polled presumably know who Haniyeh is. Alternatively, 7% of Jews and 12% of Evangelicals love Hamas. Who knows these days.)
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has a 31% favorable among Muslims in America and a 34% unfavorable.
52% of Muslims in America equate Hamas to Al Qaeda while 18% say it’s not as bad. (It’s unclear how many of the 52% dislike Al Qaeda or support it.) 49% equate it to ISIS.
About a third of Muslims in America do rate Israel and even Netanyahu positively. They are however outnumbered.
Muslims in America have somewhat mixed feelings about Hamas (this is likely to be a function of different factors such as their feelings about the Muslim Brotherhood, a significant portion of the Muslim world is hostile to it) but a majority do justify its worst atrocities.
Similarly many Muslims don’t like Al Qaeda in relation to its attacks on Muslim countries, but may support its attacks on America.
What are the implications for the United States? The poll doesn’t ask about support for Al Qaeda or terrorist attacks in America, but there’s going to be some overlap. It also doesn’t break down Muslim demographics by age, but the overall demographic support for Hamas skews much higher among younger people. It’s likely that Hamas support is much higher among young Muslims and lower among older Muslims. And since it’s the young who commit terrorist attacks, that’s where the pressure point is.
Immigration has imported terrorism and support for it inside the United States. Islamic terrorism has become endemic and indigenous to America. How long until we have our own ‘Hamas’ in America?

Who knows how many mozlums there actually are in the U.S.? Nearly half admit they admire hamas…the ghouls of gaza.
And then there is this in the U.K.

It is my firm belief as a biologist that this is a separate species from us. A sub species that formed as we all came out of Africa.

“America, we have a problem”. Good way to put it. Not just America but every western non-Muslim country that has been foolish enough to let Muslims, who are bound to hate the values that underpin our western nations, settle in their countries. It is a complete disaster to let the Muslim enemy into any non-Muslim country. France, with around 10% Muslims, is probably too far gone already. I am surprised that only 57% of the Muslims in the USA consider Hama’s atrocities are justified. Maybe some of the Muslims are like those “shy” voters who are afraid to say they support some nasty action and so they say “no” I don’t support it when they actually, in their evil hearts, do support it. THe followers of barbaric islam are totally incompatible with civilised values and all they ever want to do is impose barbaric, primitive islam on all of us. Muslims want to drag the human race back into a dark age of barbarity. That is the only mission islam has ever had.

Totally agree. From Italy.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, Brit. If only far more people would wake up to reality when it comes to islam and its followers. It is such a slow process. When it comes to islam’s malignant nature it really seems that many fools in our western societies are incapable of discovering the truth. Just have to hope that someday soon, just like the Hungarians, the Poles, the Czechs and the Slovakians, most of the population everywhere in the world wakes up to the evils of islam and shuts Muslims out..

Totally agree !!

Is there a break-down of the muslim-Americans by country? I saw the report, but it just bunched them all together. I mean, are muslims from, say, Bahrein or Indonesia just as hostile to Israel as the Palis are? Or is it pretty much uniform? Also, how about muslim-Americans from the -stans – Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, et al?
