Do the Majority of Muslims Actually Believe What's in the Koran? Posted: 29 Mar 2011 12:42 AM PDT WE RECENTLY published an article: Self-Righteousness Impedes Our Educational Efforts, and a frequent commenter and long-time reader, Damien, made an excellent point. He wrote: Citizen Warrior, Another thing we can do is show that we have the facts on our side, rather than just pulling stuff out of thin air. That way we will be less likely to seem self-righteous. In addition to quoting the really scary stuff from Koran, we can point out, for example, that according to some polling data, most Muslims do not support freedom of religion or the separation of Church and State. People can, after all, ask whether or not a majority of Muslims actually believe what's in the Koran. Here's a story on such a poll from The LA Times: Majority of Muslims want Islam in politics, poll says It also shows that a majority of Muslims support things that most non-Muslims, especially westerners, would find morally abhorrent.
