SHOCK POLL: 81% Of Al Jazeera Arabic Poll Respondents Support Islamic State (ISIS)
HOLD ON!! STOP THE PRESSES!! Have we not been told ever since the attack on the twin towers that Islam was a religion of peace and that the terrorists were the minority...maybe 2% to 10% maximum, of all Muslims world wide? Who then are these 81% supporting the beheading, the crucifixions, the rape of women and children who are also being cruelly and brutally forced into slavery every day under ISIS, sometimes under the age of 12??? Who would support this? What kind of monsters? Perhaps the Nazi's under Hitler, but certainly not "peaceful" Muslims? Yet, here we have it not from FOX NEWS, not from any Western media source. From Al Jazeera themselves.
Heaven help us.

In a recent survey conducted by AlJazeera.net, the website
for the Al Jazeera Arabic television channel, respondents overwhelmingly
support the Islamic State terrorist group, with 81% voting “YES” on whether they approved of ISIS’s conquests in the region.
The poll, which asked in Arabic, “Do you support the
organizing victories of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)?” has
generated over 38,000 responses thus far, with only 19% of respondents
voting “NO” to supporting ISIS.
Al Jazeera Arabic’s television audience is largely
made up of Sunni Muslims living in the Arab world. Its biggest
viewership numbers come from Egypt and Saudi Arabia, along with a large
amount of satellite television viewers in the United States, according
to research estimates. AlJazeera.net is most popular in Saudi Arabia,
the United States, Egypt, Morocco, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, according
to the Alexa webpage analytics site. Al Jazeera claims that it has over 40 million viewers in the Arab world.
The news that an overwhelming majority of respondents to
the Al Jazeera Arabic poll strongly support ISIS may not surprise
long-time trackers of the controversial network. The news outfit, which
is run by Qatar’s ruling family and headquartered in Doha, has a track
record rife with allegations that the organization supports the
narratives of Sunni terrorist groups.
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United
States, the Al Jazeera headquarters in Doha proudly displayed
silhouettes revering Osama bin Laden as a prophet-like figure, according to a New York Times investigation. In an Al Jazeera survey taken on September 11, 2006, 50% of respondents said they supported Osama bin Laden.
The network also faces multiple accusations that it reports
with a strong bias in favor of Sunni Islamist groups, including the
Muslim Brotherhood, which is designated as a terrorist group in many
countries. In 2013, dozens of its Egypt bureau staff members resigned in
protest of the network’s “biased coverage” in favor
of the Muslim Brotherhood. More recently, In mid-May, a former Al
Jazeera English journalist accused his former employer of being an arm
of the foreign policy of Qatar. He also described the network as being dedicated to the interests of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to legal testimony.
Another recent investigation
found that the NSA had labeled Al Jazeera’s Islamabad bureau chief as
an Al Qaeda terrorist and member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The poll’s troubling findings come following recent news that Al Jazeera’s United States outfit, Al Jazeera America, is facing multiple lawsuits dealing with anti-Semitism and gender discrimination, along with a rapidly declining viewership.
