A bomb strapped to the waist while the rest of the worlds figuring it out as virtually none of you've been paid for months? Don't pull that honky bs on me!

Except for Jews, Christians, women, gays, Hindous, Budhists, any sect except their own, & any other minority unlucky enough to live among them. Other than those exceptions, of course, Muslims want democracy.

It is sheer chutzpah after an attack justified in the name of Islam that the West be expected to change its "negative view of Muslims and Islam". It is for Muslims to show that negative view is not merited. Recall the outrage when an earlier pope described Islam as a violent religion. Muslims expressed their outrage by... killing! Yeah, that's the way to show your peaceful side. Esposito is a well known apologist for Islam, not to be taken seriously. If you want to see how Islam "engages" with the West, read Melanie Phillips "Londonistan". Very scary stuff.

here int he UK, they abuse and misuse. Can't see them being too different anywhere else. It's a mental attitude that they're bred with and can't shake off.

No thank you. Islam and democracy don't go together Look what happened in Gaza Muslims use democracy to destroy democracies in Europe they are like ''the horse of Troy'

Truth: Most Muslims want DEATH!

You're absolutely right on target about Joseph Esposito. Neither he nor the BBC have an ounce of credibility on this subject. I wouldn't trust either of them as far as I can spit.

As long as they are the ones who have been ellected to make government policy. If infidels are making the laws and those laws dont agree with muslim desires then democracy wont seem like such an attractive way to run a country.

The minute I saw the BBC were involved, I disregarded this poll. I am Scottish and am well aware of the biased reporting of the BBC. Anyway, you cannot have democracy when you live by Quoran. Is it democractic to choose between converting or death?

Who cares, BBC? Stop babbling with your pro-Muslim crap.
