Survey Finds Two-Thirds of Protestant Pastors Consider Islam "Dangerous"

Two out of three Protestant pastors believe Islam is a "dangerous" religion, according to a new survey from a Southern Baptist-affiliated research group.

The survey of more than 1,000 Protestant clergy by Life Way Research -- released on December 14, 2009 -- found that 45 percent strongly agree with the statement "I believe Islam is a dangerous religion" and another 21 percent agree somewhat with it.

The results of the telephone survey were based on a random sample of 1,002 senior pastors taken in October, 2008, reports the Ethics Daily website today.

On December 10, 2009, evangelist Franklin Graham told Cable News Network (CNN) that while he loves the Muslim people in countries he has visited with his Samaritan's Purse ministry, "I don't agree with the teachings of Islam, and I find it to be a very violent religion."
