Why do people on here act as if Islam if no worse than any other faith?

Pew sort of tries to spin its own results to make Muslims seem as unbad as possible but imagine if a similiar amount of Christians approved of similiar things. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/201...the-world/

What your link actually says:

 "In the United States, a 2011 survey found that 86% of Muslims say that such tactics are rarely or never justified. An additional 7% say suicide bombings are sometimes justified and 1% say they are often justified in these circumstances."

And it doesn't pose a similar question to Christians, but we saw during The Troubles that they don't seem to have a particular reluctance to use old-fashioned 'homicide bombing'.

I would support suicide bombing if my country was occupied and it was the most effective way to combat the invaders.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
