| KLAMarine said: I'm seeing some key distinctions between the two statistics you've presented: in the first, Muslims in general were polled but the second, after following your link (http://www.pewforum.org/2011/06/22/global-survey-of-evangelical-protestant-leaders/), it wasn't necessarily all Christians but only those of the Evangelical Protestant sect. It didn't stop there: the link lead to a survey of Evangelical Protestant leaders, not Evangelical Protestants in general. In addition, the first only takes a look at Muslims in general in about 23 countries. The second takes a look at Evangelical Protestant leaders around the globe. You're comparing apples to oranges. |
Anectodal evidence is not sufficient enough because whoever you're referencing is not necessarily representative of the whole group.
In addition, this is the best I could find in regards of finding empirical evidence and while it is not a 100% direct comparison, the data still favors my position. Meanwhile, there has been no empirical evidence that supports your counterposition and it is very apparent when you resorted to using anectodal evidence. At least I'm doing the legwork while you're just sitting there saying nope to this and nope to that.
