Jake - they don't like Caucasians, and generally Caucasian-looking people. They don't care about Muslims. A Georgian is much more likely to be disliked for being vaguely Chechen-like than a Tatar.

Russia - 55% approval of Muslims after Chechnya?

Well that's not any wackier than the Lebanon numbers and the US ones are higher after 9/11. Hey, look at those German numbers! Hmmm dazzleman, what was that crap again about how leftists love Islam and political correctness means loving Islam?
Yeah, I've wondered about that figure too ... and of course wondered when it would be brought up.
Probably reflects a relative lack of political correctness, or something about the wording of the German-language version of the question.
Actually though, the other two German figures don't quite square with what I'd have expected either ... hm.

According to this Pew poll, nearly 10% of the population of the Anglo Saxon countries believe Christianity is the most violent religion -- greater than either atheist France or Russia, or caste-riddled India. The only accounting for that figure is the cumulative effect of political correctness, which is uniquely an English-language phenomenon.

Perhaps they're merely being realistic.  Of course both christianity and islam are horribly violent, and one may say that islam is currently 'more violent' in an ideological sense (though that is quite dubious), the fact is that christianity has accomplished, historically speaking, enormously more violence than islam. 

And even today, the 'christian soldiers' of the empire are far more powerful than those of weak, rebellious islam.  Violent tendencies without the power to carry them out don't count for much.  For example, compare the numbers killed in the world trade center to the numbers slaughtered in Iraq.
Both these factors quite clearly contribute.

About 10% of Indians are Muslim so there's more to it than that.

India is 20% Muslim actually.
No, it's about 13%.
