There's no visible sample size so they mean nothing and show nothing In all my experience with pew forum, their sample sizes range from 1000-10,000 people from a very specific sector, which goes to show that they are entirely inconclusive for judging the majority --- End quote --- "The survey involved a total of more than 38,000 face-to-face interviews in 80-plus languages. It covered Muslims in 39 countries, which are divided into six regions in this report – Southern and Eastern Europe (Russia and the Balkans), Central Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa." http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-overview/ not trying to jump in on the argument, just wanted to post the information behind the graph |

When you have a small sample size the conclusion is "x% of people interviewed say this" but conservatives in their infinite knowledge translate that to "x% of the total population that is 500x larger than the sample size say this" --- End quote --- The sample sizes have set margins of error and if you took a statistics class you'd realize they are well over what is considered 'too small'. You are simply uneducated and willfully ignorant. Come back with facts and data or shut the forget up and quit peddling the toxic narrative that Islam only has a 'small number of extreme individuals'. You're wrong and we've all proven it several times here. |

"1 in 5 women who took this poll were loveually assaulted in their lifetime, therefore that must mean 1 in 5 women IN GENERAL will be loveually assaulted in their lifetime!!1!1!!1!!1!!11!!" |

What im saying is that a sample size is meant to reach a statistical conclusion but that conclusion is entirely within the scope of the people interviewed. Its not proof that 50% of muslims are radical, and to assume that is to draw an incorrect conclusion. |
