This is solely for curiosity: There are a lot of Islamophobia posts today, and I really want to see what people think with a poll.

The purpose of this poll is not to be hateful: It is to understand how people on this forum feel.

Simply answer the poll: You can remain anonymous if you like. Please be honest when answering the poll and do not fluff the poll with votes you may not believe in. No one can tell who voted.

Thank you in advance to anyone who does vote.

Are all Mormons polygamists? No. Same thing here, some may be extreme, but not all are

The crusades are not the best example of your argument because they were set in motion to recovery lands conquered by Islamic armies, they were not extremists but soldiers.  However, the Spanish Inquisition is an appropriate example of terrorism in the name of religion.

Quoting HookedDreamer:

There are extreme groups in most every religion.  Anyone remember the Crusades?

What you see as mutilation, I see as beauty.  What you see as a fad, I know has predated Christ.  My modifications do not change my character, my creeds or my core. Instead, they enhance and show the person I was meant to be.  I suspend not because it is easy, but because it is hard.  I practice discipline through methods that push body, mind and soul. My suicide was not the first or last step that was taken on this journey... I now rest, deep within a coma.

Well you should fit right in! Last time I was on the west side of Michigan I was called a nigger. The year was 2007. Please stay there and enjoy your like minded bigots and racists.

terror and murder in Islam is the second worse sin one can commit. In order not to be a sin a murder must be justifiable and a justifiable murder would be the same as you see on the law books in the U.S. Self defence, defence of family, home, or land.

There are also rules of engagement that must be followed when fighting a war and they are as follows

1) Give Diplomacy a chance before battle starts and respect all peace treaties

2) Do not harm those who are not physically involved in fighting... women, children, and the elderly.

3) Protect all places of worship

4) Treat all prisoners of was well.

5) Allow the bodies of soldiers killed in battle to be buried in dignity.

6) Stop fighting when the enemy ceases hostilities and negotiate for peace.

To be honest, the poll confuses me and I'm not sure what I'm answering

 You didn't have an option for "Muslims, just like everyone else, has both good and bad, so while some may be terrorists, not all are terrorists". That is the option I would have picked.
