Scotland’s Muslim Student Association is shrieking “Islamophobia” over a new study released by the Centre for Social Cohesion (CSC).

60% of students in Muslim associations who were questioned believed religious killings were acceptable.  Including those not members of Islamic associations, only 32% claim killing to protect religion is acceptable.

The study was done by polling 600 Muslim students and 800 non-Muslim students.  That’s not a very good sample size to make a decisive conclusion.  However, even that fact that 60% of Muslim students in associations and 35% of Muslim students not in associations in such a small sample thought religious killings could be justified is disgusting.  50% would be disgusting, as would 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 1%…  anyone who thinks killing in the name of religion can be justified has a skewed concept of reality and civil rights.

  1. So Muslim student’s associations were found to generally be more permissive of religious killings which leads them to call Islamophobia. Are the same students willing to kill for Allah as claim they’re being discriminated against for being honest?

  2. Islamophobia: being aware that Islamic law is bad news for non-muslims, and muslims lacking a y-chromosome.
