You'd never guess from the mainstream coverage of
this survey that:
13% said suicide bombings on civilian targets could be justified - 26% amongst younger Muslims (9% "didn't know")
15% said Al-Qaeda was, to some degree, favourable (27% "didn't know")
28% don't believe arabs were involved in 9/11 (32% "didn't know")
42% said there was a conflict between their faith and modern life
60% think of themselves as Muslim first
61% think homosexuality should be "discouraged" (but apparently 63% are Democrats)
39% aren't too concerned about the rise of Islamic extremism in the US
(
Ace of Spades has a good summary of the spin)
From
last year, British Muslims are equally "well integrated":
47% believe there's a conflict between being a devout Muslim and living in a western society.
15% support suicide bombings.
56% of British Muslims don't believe Arabs had anything to do with 9/11.
73% blame "Western disrespect" for the "cartoons controversy" and 92% are sympathetic to those who were offended.
14% have confidence in Bin-Laden while 68% have little confidence (I'm going to assume the missing 18% thought better of voicing their opinion)
Update 25May -
CAIR's Fuzzy Math,
Media bombs - "
26 percent looms large when it describes the number of American Muslims, ages 18-29, who support suicide bombings "in defense of Islam"".
