“Had I won the Nobel Peace Prize, what I would have done is awarded it to either the Bush administration for successfully disarming the nuclear program of North Korea and working diligently to do the same thing in Iran, or I would have awarded it to General Petraeus and the United States military. If there has ever been an engine for peace in the world, it is the United States military.” ~ Rush Limbaugh is an American radio presenter and conservative political commentator.

A Muslim group in Britain, Exploring Islam Foundation, commissioned pollsters YouGov to find out what the British really think about Muslims. Here is the BBC take on the survey:

“BBC home editor Mark Easton says the survey, conducted last month, paints a negative picture of British attitudes to Islam.

Asked if Muslims had a positive impact on British society, the YouGov poll found four out of 10 disagreed with the statement.

Half linked Islam with terrorism, just 13% thought it was based on peace and 6% associated it with justice.

Some 60% admitted they did not know much about the religion, but a third said they would like to know more.” ~ Source: BBC News

Apparently they have to run surveys to find out the obvious  !
