We see people whom believe that its ok to be critical of Muslims in general, but that its not ok to be critical of Jews in general. Some folks (including some modern day Muslims/Ex Muslims, and Jews) argue that Islam is a violent/intolerant religion, and that millions if not hundreds of Millions of Muslims around the world hold barbaric views. We also see people who believe that many Jews hold barbaric views. That said, many Muslims and Jews believe that its rude and possibly against their religion to be critical of Muslims in general or Jews in general. As a Catholic, I would say that Muslims in general, as well as Jews in general, do not pose a threat to society.
Groups like ISIL and Al Qaeda are filled with so called Muslims, but these groups make up a sliver of those around the world whom identify as Muslim . The # of so called Muslims whom are members of Al Qaeda, ISIL, etc, is not similar to the % of Germans whom were Nazis during WW2. The % of Muslims who would support killing a disbeliever is not similar to the percentage of smokers whom will have their health negatively effected by smoking. Some folks suggest that due to certain polls, that hundreds of Millions of Muslims are barbaric people. The issue is that these Anti Muslims are unaware of the large # of Muslims whom are against ISIL, whether verbally or physically. The logic of the Anti Jew, the Logic of the Anti Muslim, is a poor logic.
I feel that many people around the world, from numerous backgrounds, would agree that its offensive to suggest things like "most Muslims aren't terrorists" but that most terrorists are Muslims. And that its equally as offensive to suggest that Jews control the banks, or that Jewish doctors work with each other to jack up the prices.

The % of muslims who support death for apostasy:
I will leave it to you to work out how many hundreds of millions of Muslims support death for leaving Islam
My comment was to with Islam and smoking so lets not get caught up on ISIS whom you keep mentioning in your post though I would imagine the majority of the worlds muslims do indeed disagree and dislike ISIS. I would guess the butchering of Muslims and murder of Jordanian pilot will not have helped ISIS's support
Your post contains many comparisons to jews when I never infered or mentioned jews in any way; My post was straightforward:
Not all Muslims are bad
Not all smokers get cancer
Smoking is bad for your health
Islam is bad for the world
Not all smokers will die from smoking
Not all followers of Islam will be bad people and do bad things

You have provided insufficient data, as the poll only talks about a subset of Muslims (those who feel that Sharia law should be the law of the land). This is similar to asking only those Christians who feel sodomy should be illegal, whether or not gays should be put to death.
