That’s true. What you said is

and I don’t even know how to parse the sentence so I cannot really comment on it.
You implied that 1/3 of muslims would be willing to kill someone over a drawing of Muhammad.
The study doesn't say 1/3 of muslims say "it's ok to kill someone who draws images of Muhammad". It says "acts of violence". A vague and immeasurable term. Does that mean a punch? does it mean a stab? Jihad? The poll doesn't care.
> you implied that 1/3 of muslims would be willing to kill…
I implied no such thing. I was referring only to Palestinians (the 'other bunch'). The vast majority of who will indeed slaughter you if they decide they are offended.
I'm bemused why anyone thought I was talking about Muslims in say Sarajevo or Indonesia. Identity-obsessed much?
