That Pew poll on Muslim attitudes

June 18, 2010 By admin

BlazingCatFur notes that Obama’s outreach efforts to the Muslim world have been a huge success:

From a survey of Muslims only, in 7 nations (Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt), Pew Research concludes there is “Limited Support for Extremism” in answer to the question of whether “suicide bombing” is often or sometimes justified.

What’s interesting to note is that in no fewer than 4 of the nations surveyed a minimum of 20% or greater of respondents expressed support for suicide bombing, Lebanon, Jordan, Nigeria & Egypt.

20% or greater support for “suicide bombing” in 4 of 7 nations surveyed does not count as “limited support” in my books.

Also interesting to note is that in each of the nations surveyed support for “suicide bombing” actually increased from 2009 to 2010…
