Firstly, 15% supporting ISIS is a huge amount of people. Secondly, there are lots of anecdotes about Islamic refugees throwing Christian ones overboard, or maltreating them at refugee centers and so forth too. Thirdly, you don't mention what solution you are thinking of that you claim we are all for or against, and that we all need to work together for, so I cannot really be for or against it.

Polls and anecdotes are not as good as internet discussion fora for getting to grips with how a particular culture actually thinks.

15% is disappointing, but then the number of racist xenophobes that equate Muslim with terrorist is disappointingly high so what are you going to do?

All an internet discussion group tells you is what those particular people on that specific discussion group thinks. Anyone who believes otherwise is beyond help.

> there are lots of anecdotes about Islamic refugees throwing Christian ones overboard, or maltreating them at refugee centers and so forth too.

Especially when your main source of news is the daily mail.
