Those are real numbers.
Without access to the raw data and an IT security person auditing the poll, none of us can unequivocally say whether the numbers are real or not; however, what we do know about GCHQ and the Pentagon certainly allows us all to unequivocally question the legitimacy of the poll.
Not to mention that,

A scientific poll, I'm sure.
So what's the subtext here? We're supposed to think that the majority of the Muslim world supports ISIS and wants them to kill us all?
Is that what we're supposed to believe?
That is what I take away from it.
I have seen enough polls to be convinced of the rough accuracy of the publicly stated (and there may be a big catch therein) desire and approval for the caliphate.

No, I trust you instead.
Point being, we probably shouldn't be trusting what anyone is telling us about this "situation".
Especially me.

True enough but, each time this topic comes up it is dismissed as propaganda. Well, in this case it actually is propaganda.
I will acknowledge that there are many possible reasons for the propagation of this stuff, I merely ask that the most obvious one be given primary consideration.

Most who took part are probably the same keyboard warriors who support ISIS on Twitter & Facebook or even ISIS members themselves.
, my closing statement in the OP I believe stands as a good assumption.

Gee, thats because Zero Hedge is such a truthful news source... lol.. okay.

seriously.. I keep telling people that from a Muslim and a Muslim perspective, that extremism is on the rise, no USA interference necessary, and when I was a Muslim myself, you people didn't believe me because its more fun for you to hate the US than face the truth..
And the truth is, extremism is on the rise in the Muslim community, at an alarming rate.
But that is okay, you go on believing Alex Jones and Zero Hedge and all those other journalists in it for the money, instead of someone who was inside of Islam, and inside the community, and Al Jazeera, who is on the inside of the Muslim community..
I miss the rolling eyes emoticon,, seriously I do.
