Wow..I am not surprised given the sample of news outlets you listened would indicate something other then the actual facts on this very disturbing trend. I never listen to any liberal agenda ridden outlet..I know it's all lies straight out the gate!

Thank you so much for your kind remarks.....it's true, as a nation we are spoon-fed only what the masters of the media deem suitable for our consumption..........

CORBIN, THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING TO USE YOUR BRAIN! MOST
folks are too tired, too stressed, too busy to use their own...only trouble is they don't get their news from you...they get it from CNN...if at all. THAT scares me! You, however, USE your brain, and when something doesen't quite sound right, YOU check it out for yourself instead of blindly accepting it just because, and only because, it was on CNN...God forbid! And worst of all, not only do most folks watch CNN every night, not only do they blindly accept what they hear, they put their trust in CNN and do not, will not believe that CNN would ever manipulate the data!!
I ran some numbers sometime in the last year or so on this question I had in my own mind: If the Islamic radicals are ONLY 10% of the U.S. population, what is that number? ONLY 5 percenet? ONLY 1 percent? Of course I can't recall the figures, but they were stunning! Even if the radicals were only one percent, the number was so large( somewhere around one million, I think)it scared me! Just think what ONE MILLION radical islamics could do...ONE MILLION who are already here!
Max,like you, runs the numbers. Several years ago when the scare tactic dujour was that world population was so large that the planet was having difficuly responding to the demand of so many...Max got the world pop. number online, divided it by four(he put four in a family*)He showed that every family IN THE WORLD would fit into the state of TEXAS with each family member having a so many square feet. Feasable...no possible ...yes. The point is all the land in THE REST OF THE WORLD was unoccupied! He has proved his point on cocktail napkins to many unbelievers, many times, over the years...
*He put four in a family to keep things simple...the numbers he used still reflected the number of people in the world.
I wish folks had the opportunity to HEAR the results of your research, Corbin. Max and I appreciate ALL you do!

Chilling! I haven't checked yet, but the figures appear to be very close to the results obtained in Britain a couple of years back. The main difference is that, proportionately to the overall population, the number of Muslims in the US is far lower, so far...

I saw this chilling report on the news - even the lady interviwer (that I saw) on MSNBC, of all channels, seemed skeptical, as her Muslim guest, tried to point out the "positive" side of this (these) poll(s)!

They are qualities that are missing from the majority of mainstream news
offerings - no argument there, Corbin; I see the same type of slants, manipulation and spins from the left also. But does that mean fair, balanced reporting and I would add complete presentation of the facts should be buried and forgotten? A fully informed public is vital to democracy, no?
I clicked on the link you provided but couldn't find the location of the rest of the story you posted? I am very interested in studying this issue in depth because I worry more about health and accident threats to my loved ones than harm from religious extremism of any stripe.
