And I suppose 'The Avengers' makes the case for Norse mythology?

Bullshit Christianist Propaganda Poll Of The Day
I have spoken about World Net Daily's website a number of times in the past. They are a vile, hate filled mouthpiece for the Christian Right. They're anti-gay, xenophobic and not afraid to make their opinions known. They regularly conduct polls amongst their readers. Often times, the question or the choice of responses are skewed in a way to where people have no choice but to answer in the direction that the website leans.
Today is no exception. In response to yesterday's domestic terrorist attack in Norway, WND asked the following question:
"Islamic terrorism"? Ladies and gentlemen, here is your "Islamic terrorist":
At this time, 92 people are dead from yesterday's dual attacks. At least 86 of those people were shot and killed when Breivik, dressed as a police officer, gathered dozens of people together at a youth camp and methodically opened fire on them, one by one, with an automatic rifle. Crews are still pulling bodies out of the bombed government buildings in Central Oslo.
Does anyone use Google anymore, or are they fine with accepting this bullshit propaganda at face value? I can't wrap my head around this kind of blatant racism.

His name is Anders Breivik. Oslo Police are describing him as "right wing and a Christian fundamentalist", exactly the profile of those who read World Net Daily. Hours before the attack took place, Breivik posted a 1500 page manifesto online detailing preparations and calling for a Christian war to defend Europe against the threat of Muslim domination. His neighbors even described him as a gun-loving American Norwegian obsessed with what he saw as the threats of multiculturalism and Muslim immigration. Essentially, he's Norway's version of Timothy McVeigh.

World Net Daily Asks: Are Christians Being Picked On?
World Net Daily, the ultra conservative, evangelical, Christian right news site has a history of pandering to a targeted demographic of reader. Even after President Obama furnished his long form birth certificate, the site continued to suggest the "birther" conspiracy theory.
Previous articles on the website have reported such nonsense as that a new trend is that gay parents are selectively aborting heterosexual fetuses, and that gays and Muslims are trying to infiltrate the Republican party. Let's just say, the website is an acquired taste. According to their site, they receive 40 million views and 5 million unique visitors per month, so somebody out there is reading what they're saying.
This morning, they printed an online survey asking, "Do you believe U.S. Christians are being persecuted?". So far, 94% say YES. 3% say MAYBE.

According to Wikipedia, 76% of the American population is Christian. How can the overwhelming majority of a country's residents feel threatened or terrorized by the minority. Doesn't it work the other way around?
