Is the ''Only a minority of Muslims are radical'' true?

This, 2013 Pew Study,

Quote:Pew report on Muslim world paints a distressing picture

backs you up with more current data.

There is a link to the full study in the summary.

And if you read the full study, one of the first things you learn is that most of the people who want sharia to be the 'law of the land' want it only enforced on Muslims, and favor religious freedom for non-Muslims. They also don't all mean the same thing when they say they want sharia, most favor it in family law and property disputes; fewer support severe punishments.

Are we to think that non-Muslims in the same regions are more accepting of evolution and homosexuality?

The USA has a lower acceptance of evolution than the Muslim population of 14 of the countries surveyed.

As I've observed before, the barbarity of a region is linked far more closely to its history than its religion. And none of my comments should be interpreted to indicate that I think the Muslims who are radical extremists are a tiny enough minority.

It was narrated that Abu Al-Aliyah said:
"Ibn Abbas said: "...the Messenger of Allah said to me: "And beware of going to extremes in religious matters, for those who came before you were destroyed because of going to extremes in religious matters." (Sahih)
