Forget 9/11.
Forget the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
Forget the fatwahs of al Qaeda and its sister organizations.
Forget the scores of attacks that have occurred or been thwarted on American soil during the past eight years.
Americans, according to a Gallup poll, are less concerned about terrorism than at any point since August 2004 – with only 36% saying they are very or somewhat worried that they or a family member will become a victim of a terrorist attack.
Americans’ collective level of worry about terrorism is the lowest recorded since August 2004 (34%) and down sharply from the all-time high of 59% recorded in October 2001, just after the Sept. 11 attacks. 30% now say they are not too worried about the threat of another terrorist attack and 34% say they are not at all worried.
In a separate Gallup Poll, a scant 1% of the Americans surveyed mentioned terrorism as the most important problem facing the United States.
Although President Obama, apart from Bubba Bill Clinton, is the only U.S. Commander-in-Chief never to serve in the Army, 73% of Americans say they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in the Obama Administration and the Democrat majority in the House and Senate to protect them from future acts of terrorism — unchanged from 2006.
Two-thirds of the liberals in America, according to a recent ABC poll, maintain that Islam is a peaceful religion that poses no threat to the country. Sixty-two percent of the registered Democrats and Independents concur.
Unfavorable views of Islam have increased by 23 points among senior citizens, 19 points among conservatives, 18 points among Republicans and 12 points among Southerners. There’s one group – liberals – among whom unfavorable views of Islam have declined, by 11 points.

No Siree Bob!

Williams is obviously a kook with a PHD (Piled Higher And Deeper)
Real U.S. Citizens do. Leftists haven’t the brains to be concerned.
STUCK ON STUPID.
Wasn’t that the precise attitude that was pervasive throughout the country prior to 9/11?
Everyone has been kissed to sleep by obama! Terrorists love it that there is a Muslim in power, one that he and his church admire.... Farrakhan!
With this most of their work is done. Old allegiances are being destroyed daily while favoring the muslim world... go figure. Economy is getting destroyed. Military is getting defanged. People are being morally bankrupted..... by the anti president...
It adds up to a very ugly picture!
Which can mean only one thing: Terrorism is now a bigger threat than it ever was. The public's inclination to discount terrrorism is precisely the sort of contrary indicator highly successful traders look for. Fading public opinion on such matters is highly profitiable.
"No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
This reminds me of the Summer of 2001……….America thought the problem of terrorism was Israel’s. Most folks still do.
“No Israel = No Terrorism”
Just wait and see.
I’m more worried about congress than what some po’d savages from a Brooklyn mosque will do to a few thousand leftist New Yawkers.
Let me be the first to say it, since for once it's true: Bush's fault!!!
I have a typical Israeli attitude I guess.
America has put her guard down in the worst way possible. You’ve invited the savages into the country, and promoted their ideology...........this does not bode well for the future,,,but since we’ll all be living in “Obamavilles”, under bridges,,,,we may not notice.
Of course they no longer see terrorism as a number one threat because now the number one threat to our country is the president.
Jobs are being lost by the thousands every day.
More and more people will lsoe their homes.
The deficit is skyrocketing and we can’t even pay the interest on the debt let alone the debt itself.

Amen.
If true, thank you, President Bush.
