Ugh. This is not good news:
CBN NEWS – A majority of Americans believe the country would be better off if people followed the teachings of the Bible over the Koran, the Muslim holy book.
Lifeway Research interviewed 1,000 Americans to learn their opinions about the Bible and Koran.
The results are a bit shocking.
Questioners asked interviewees if they considered the text of each book to be dangerous, and if it would be helpful, or harmful for American society to follow the teachings of each.
Twenty-four percent of Americans considered the Koran to be a dangerous book, and only 9 percent felt that way about the Bible. Eighty percent said the Bible is good for American society.
But the most shocking response came when 28 percent of respondents said they think following the Koran would be good for the country, and 25 percent said they didn’t know if the Koran is dangerous, or good.
How could this be, when only slightly more than one half of one percent of the total U.S. population is Muslim?
According to the 2010 U.S. Religion Census, 2.6-million Americans are Muslim. That figure has grown by 1.6 million since 2000.
An increase of one million Muslims in 15 years – what do you want to bet that a good chunk of that million has occurred in the last 7 years?
