A closer look at the Pew report, meantime, shows that of the 26 percent of young Muslims who expressed sympathy for suicide bombers, nearly half of them said it is justified only in rare circumstances.

meaning the other half think it's ok anytime? That's comforting...

engage the nation's growing Muslim population.

I suggest we engage them at long range first; CBUs should do nicely. As they get closer, artillery followed by mortars. If necessary small arms once they're inside 500 meters or so.

The few survivors can be engaged with fixed bayonets.

Precisely my view of this. Growing moslem population? We can fix that. We do have to find something to do after we beat the amnesty bill, don’t we!!

The inmates are running the asylum.

In a normal world one would react to the “new” finding that mooseslimes favor suicide bombing by tightening security measures on the enemy within.

But in the bizarro world in which we live, the reaction to this finding is that we should worry about what sort of “back lash” might result from this “new” finding.

Beam me up, Mr. Speaker, Beam me up.

“Those who take a darker view of Islam, seized on the Pew findings as evidence of a legitimate threat, pointing out that it takes only a few disgruntled souls to exact horrific damage”......And there’s the fly in the soup...How much killing would the U.S. government allow of U.S. citizens before it got serious about finding the few?
I’m worried they won’t do much until something big happens.
They are going to do the same thing law enforcement does today in most cases: “Can’t do anything till something happens.”

``This youth has grown up where all things Muslims are treated suspect, that Muslims are the enemy within. They've experienced it at public schools, campuses, places of employment.

Muzzies got this one right they are the enemy within.

Lock and load.

Given, that these people seem unable to peaceably co-exist with any other culture, anywhere on earth. Why in the does anybody in this country think it will be any different here?

At what point will their presence in our country metastisize to a point where the harm they invariably do to a civilized society is irreparable?

Will any Western "leaders" ever be honest about what's happening in Europe?

Nooot realllly. I say we tell the 74% who don't say it's OK to identify the 26% for us so we can separate them from anywhere they might be dangerous. Especially the 13% who think it's OK most anytime. They simply cannot be allowed to remain.

I'm willing to consider that, but could we get some clarification on the proposed rules of engagement?

That’s what you get when you put your faith in a cult.

Your just going to have to deal with it.

>> If you want to be trusted - EARN IT!

Exactly. And you can start earning it by loudly and unconditionally condemning Islamonazi terror, INCLUDING all of those muzzies who support it (like CAIR, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranians, the Syrians, etc).

A December 2006 survey by the University of Maryland's Program on International Attitudes found 24 percent of Americans believe ``bombings and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians'' are often or sometimes justified. The poll found no significant variance based on age.

??? Carpet bombing population centers?

I know of numerous countries throughout the middle east where muslims can live the way they want to. They should go back there instead of crapping on our lives.
