I am quoting the Economist.
Um, yes - I know. That is a second-hand source. I quoted the ORIGINAL source. What aren't you understanding about that?
But the Economist report says nearly 90% of Egyptians favor death for Apostates.
No, it says, " Almost 80% of Egyptian Muslims say they favour religious freedom and a similar number favour sharia law. Of that group, almost 90% also think people who renounce Islam should be put to death. Confused? So are they. "
Of WHAT group? Of the ones that favor sharia law, which is "similar" to "almost 80 percent"? O.K., let's say 75 percent, since it doesn't actually say. 90% of 75% is 67%, not 90%. Very confusing. Very poorly written. Again, why not just go to the original source, as I did, and see that the conclusion of the PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE REPORT don't have that take on it at all. They say:
"In most countries surveyed, there is considerably less support for severe punishments"
So you are referring to a survey where the AUTHORS of the survey believe that most Muslims don't believe in draconian punishments, and claiming the OPPOSITE. The only reason I can see for you doing that is that you have a preconceived idea that you insist on believing, and aren't at all interested in the truth.
That data jives with other appalling statistics out of Egypt where over 90% of women have their clitorisis cut off - even though the previous government tried to ban the practice.
What does that have to do with Islam? Your article says the rate is 74% in Ethiopia - also appalling. The largest religion in Ethiopia is Christianity. So by your logic, Christianity is more dysfunctional than Islam.
Actually, they're BOTH pretty dysfunctional, as are most religions. LOL.

As I already pointed out - this poll doesn't include the more populous and most Islamists countries like Sudan, Iran and Saudi Arabia where Sharia Law is already the law of the land. So the numbers would be even worse then they already are.
Non sequitur. There's nothing wrong with "the numbers". You just cherry-picked the worst elements you could find. And now you're making up this fiction that it "would have been worse" out of whole cloth.
There can be no doubt that the Muslim/Arab world (Arabs in particular) are way behind the rest of the planet in terms of human rights, women's rights, gay rights, religious freedom, education, economies.......
Now you're conflating Islam with Arab people. Arab is not the equivalent of Muslim any more than White is the equivalent of Christian. You just really aren't thinking this through.

If you are from the west and live in the west... Look around you,
You see the great achievements of mankind ... In the east, you dont see that.
We are not dysfunctional as you say.. but we carry the burden of Atheists and their
perversions.

He should be stoned or at least imprisoned like the terrorist nut head he is.
that would be justice served...
Says the guy who complains about Muslims condoning draconian punishments. LOL.
Some people just. don't. get it.

What's the rate of atheism/agnosticism amongst the 'perverts' that have and will continue to create the great advancements in society that you seem to so admire (and I'm referring to scientists if it wasn't clear)?

Rubbish as always. The west no longer has the tallest buildings or the largest highways. Plus if you go back in time, such things as gun powder, paper and the great Wall of China came from China. America was founded because they were looking for an easier way to the riches of India. Each region has its time. The east had its and declined and so did the Romans and the Egyptians. The west took the mantle. What remains to be seen, is if the east is reclaiming its mantle and the west is declining or will it be a multipolar world??

Most of which occurred after the yoke of religious dogma was thrown off after the Reformation. Go perverted atheists!

Are you noticing who is tearing down the western world ?

Yes-the western world itself. China or India did not start a war with the US and Europe and demand that we ship our jobs . Our corporations did that and our corrupt gubmnt refuses to put any restrictions on imports. Western civilization is being devored by its own insatiable greed.

Hmmmm....a violent attack against innocent people motivated by religion. Yep, fits the definition of a terrorist attack, doesn't it? But nobody's talking about it because it doesn't support their stereotype that only Muslims commit violent acts.
Oh, and one more thing:
If he had a gun, do you think there would have been only 4 victims, and that nobody would have died? Do you think they would have been able to disarm him and hold him down until police arrived? Oh, wait, I forgot, "guns don't kill people". Har.
