If so, thats total lunacy, it would be hard as hell to interview a million people let alone a billion.

you're right, the pew research statistics are meant to draw a conclusion for research purposes only. Its not meant to be taken as a holy bible statistic to build all your conservative laws around.
The context that your type constantly uses it in is "small sample size statistics therefore we should ban all muslims" when its meant to be used as 'statistics therefore we can conduct further research'

liberals burn cities and beat up innocent people. Its a tough world

individuals from politically unstable, oppressive nations, or individuals that experience incredibly poor living standards and suffer from very low political efficacy, are much more likely to utilize, or sympathize with, violent forms of unconventional political action. we've seen it in the past, we see it now in the middle east, we've been seeing it even now in the US. this seems to me the most reasonable explanation for the primary source of motivation for the terrorist groups we've seen in the middle east. groups grasping for power and representation of interests that they're convinced they have no other means of seeing realized. it doesn't make sense to me that this is entirely the fault of a defunct doctrine that drives its followers to inane acts of deathly violence, because islam has existed for many, many centuries, and we're only now, in the past few decades, seeing these terrorist groups rise. it seems incredibly convenient that this would just happen to begin occurring alongside all the political turmoil underway.

Besides the fact that a million muslims being interviewed would still be less than 1% of all muslims and infact be a "small sample"
What do you propose "further reasearch" to mean exactly?

39,000 is suddenly a million
And i dont know but if you take research intended statistics, say "1 in 5 women are loveually assaulted" and say "we should make a law to focus more on women being raped" then now you just completely forgeted over all male rape victims thanks to a small sample size interview
