Everyone
knows how bone ignorant the larger part of Republican Party voters
are.
But
notice this comes from the liberal Guardian.
Of
course suppporters of Barack Obama are totally incapable of such
ignorance – lol
Notice
how this article is juxtaposed with a photo of Donald Trump,
definitely linking in readers’ minds the 30 % with him.
Note,
amongst other things Trump is in favour of dialogue with the Devil
Incarnate, Vladimir Putin.
All
is not always what it seems and we live in very interesting times
Poll:
30% of GOP voters support bombing Agrabah, the city from Aladdin
Public
Policy Polling also found that about 54% of the Republicans they
polled support banning Muslims from entering the US, as Donald Trump
has proposed

December, 2015
Almost
one-third of Republican primary voters would support bombing the
fictional kingdom of Agrabah, according to a report released by
Public Policy Polling on Friday.
More
than 530 Republican primary voters were polled this week on their
support for Republican candidates and foreign policy issues including
banning Muslims from entering the US, Japanese internment camps from
the second world war and bombing Agrabah, the kingdom from Disney’s
animated classic, Aladdin.
In
its poll, Public Policy Polling asked the 532 Republicans: “Would
you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?” While 57% of responders
said they were not sure, 30% said they supported bombing it. Only 13%
opposed it.
Public
Policy Polling also polled Democratic primary voters: only 19% of
them said they would support bombing Agrabah, while 36% said they
would oppose it.
Republican
primary voters polled by the PPP aren’t just worried about Agrabah.
Of those polled, 36% believe that thousands of Arabs in New Jersey
cheered when the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11. About 54% of
those polled support banning Muslims from entering the United States
and 46% support the creation of a national database of Muslims in the
United States.
New
Jersey officials and residents have repeatedly denied
the claims of
the post-9/11 celebrations, which were resurfaced last month by
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“I
watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched
in Jersey City, New
Jersey,
where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that
building was coming down,” Trump said at a November campaign rally
in Alabama.
Trump
continues to stand
by his remarks.
He had also called for a “total
and complete shutdown”
of the country’s borders to Muslims in the wake of the San
Bernardino terrorist attack.
According
to the PPP,
“[Donald] Trump is at 45% with Republicans who want to bomb Aladdin
and only 22% with ones who don’t want to bomb Aladdin.”
Trump
has been criticised by members of his own party for his anti-Muslim
remarks.
“Banning
all Muslims will make it harder for us to do exactly what we need to
do, which is destroy Isis,” Republican presidential candidate Jeb
Bush said on Tuesday during the fifth Republican debate. “We need
to engage with the Arab world to make this happen.”
But
Trump’s remarks and proposals, however, have seemed to connect with
some GOP voters.
One
in four of those polled by the PPP said that Islam should be illegal
in the US and that they support the US policy of Japanese internment
during the second world war.
