*shakes head* Somehow seems unbelievable.
So, its probably [hopefully] not true, especially considering they only polled 1000 people, and they didnt say exactly how diverse.

Well, statistically speaking, 1000 people is generally a sound enough polling number to get a fairly accurate represenation of the views of the people of the nation as long as the sample was taken properly. In this case, it was a random telephone survey which should be decent. It does leave out those without phones such as the poor, homeless, and those who generally live in recluse. But, overall, the poll should be pretty good, certainly there is some error. I don't know. AP Statistics is a boring class, don't take it.

About two in three said they agreed that ``the people who use Islam to justify violence are misinterpreting its teachings.''

Well that's good.

The poll found that people most likely to have negative attitudes were male, white, less educated, politically conservative and living in the South.

Sounds accurate from my point of view. But it's not to say that all of them are like that. Bush is from the South.

Uh..I live in the South, thanks, and I turned out ok(well, sorta ok if you account for the missing marbles ) ...though I guess that's accurate.

I really don't have a negative opinion. Everyone has religious extremists, to wash the whole religious muslim sector would be extremely stupid and hateful.

Meh...the more people I meet, the more I love my cat.
