That would be compelling if you weren't cherry-picking the data. The graph you posted is from a Pew Research Center poll in 2013. Among its findings was that Like with anything else, people rarely act as a bloc.While most favor using religious law in family and property disputes, fewer support the application of severe punishments – such as whippings or cutting off hands – in criminal cases. The survey also shows that Muslims differ widely in how they interpret certain aspects of sharia, including whether divorce and family planning are morally acceptable.
Only if we're willing to ignore the poll you posted.But we can still acknowledge a majority of Muslims, and at the very unprobable least many millions of them, agree with what the shooter did.
Alright, but even if that's true, where do we draw the line as far as tarring all members of a group with what the group does?
Maybe, but I also think it's a bit of a straw man to equate these kinds of mass killings with even those who are okay with the severe punishments of Sharia law. The same study we've been talking about, for example, noted that in everywhere (except Palestine) a majority (often sizeable) said suicide bombing was rarely or never okay.
