Minarets Broadcast Alex Jones!

This is the show from Monday, December 5th, 2016

SUMMARY:

* Join Bob & Doug at Zaida’s Dinner: Bob and Doug will attend the upcoming Fundraising Dinner this Friday night at 6 p.m. for cancer survivor Zaida Mattson at the St. Julien Hotel in Boulder!

* Alex Jones From the Minaret: Bob surprises his co-host Doug McBurney with a recent poll in the U.K. showing massive support for Sharia over British law among U.K. Moslems, (and an enormous fan base of Islamic “9/11 Truthers” for Alex Jones)!

* Brain Restriction: Tune in to hear about the latest research on why pot makes you stupid, (and it’s effective restriction of blood flow to the brain may even lead to dementia and Alzheimer’s).

* Where the Church Went Wrong: When Constantine’s mom designated The Church of the Holy Sepulcher as the tomb of Christ, she got it wrong.

* Where the Church Went WRONGER: When Christian leaders endorsed Donald Trump in order to “stop Hillary”, they got it even more wrong than did Constantine’s mom. Bob asks if, (now that Hillary has been stopped) will those Christians now warn their flocks that Trump is a child killer, a homosexualist, an interventionist/isolationist, a protectionist, and a socialist.

Setting aside the bad joke that is Alex Jones, and concentrating on this from your link:

The survey should be taken in context. It also found that 93% felt strongly or fairly strongly attached to Britain as their home country; only 1% favour a "fully separate Islamic area in Britain, subject to Sharia Law and government"; and 78% support government regulation to prevent extremists from being able to teach in madrassas (Muslim religious schools).

It also found lower support for political violence and terrorism than among the general UK population.

​

I have no idea how that slipped past everyone, maybe while they were all busy with the "massive" something or other.

This was interesting, too:

Some of the results are open to interpretation. There is a wide variety of opinion on what Sharia law actually involves. Few Muslims believe in limb amputations as a punishment for theft, but many would like the option to have their divorces or non-interest loans governed by religious tenets, the survey shows.

Selective reading maybe?

Selective reading maybe?

Slow-motion reading?

The "recent poll" they referenced is ten years old.
