There was no qualitative explanation in the link (or any of the associated links) about the survey that was undertaken, so a better title would have been "majority of polled Muslims support death..." I bet if I took a poll in the heartland of fundamentalist Christian Alabama or Mississippi, and asked the question "do you support death for homosexuals", the result would result in a majority affirmative too. Does that mean I could use those poll results to associate it with all Christians?

So you're equating an unsupported claim to an actual poll? Hmmmm....
