Americans Are Rising To Occasion INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted 8/10/2006 Public Opinion: Most Americans may not think of the war on terror as World War III, but a solid majority takes the threat of militant Islamism very seriously, suspects that Iran is behind much of it and concludes that the U.S. must stop that country from getting nukes "at any cost." These are among the results of the latest IBD/TIPP Poll, which probed how seriously Americans view the spread of Islamofascism and whether they recognize a need to confront it sooner rather than later.

Many commentators refer to the global war on Islamic-sponsored terror as "World War III" and draw parallels with the relatively slow reaction in the U.S. and Britain to the march of Nazism in the 1930s. Given the proliferation of terrorist attacks worldwide and Iran's quest for nuclear weapons, the West cannot afford a similar response now, these pundits say. Responses to the IBD/TIPP Poll, however, indicate that Americans are confronting the threat of radical Islamism with eyes wide open.

The 919 adults surveyed last week may not be ready to declare this World War III. Only half (51%) of Americans believe that "militant Islamism is no less a threat in the 21st century than Nazism, fascism and communism were in the 20th century," with 30% "strongly" agreeing and an additional 21% "somewhat" agreeing. But five of eight (or 63%) are "very concerned about the rising tide of Islamofascism and its desire to establish a worldwide Muslim rule," and 43% "agree strongly" and 20% "agree somewhat" with this statement. In addition: • Nearly six in 10 (58%) doubt that diplomacy and negotiation are of much use "in dealing with Islamic fascists bent on destroying Western civilization."

Because 60% of Americans aren't behind the war or any dometic policies to make us safer, like immigration enforcement, Patriot Act, profiling.

because they haven't for some reason made the connection between an open, porus border with ten's of thousands sneaking across and terrorism yet. When their lights go out, they'll get it.

Move along folks. Nothing to see here.

Public opinion polls from the fall of 2002 said basically the same thing about Iraq. Maybe I'm overly pessimistic, but I do not think this country has the fortitude it takes to fight the Islamists.

I can only hope that something major happens to wake the people up --like maybe nuking NY city or something along those lines!

I've been trying to wake people up, for years:
( Notice anything familiar about that salute? )

Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Picture, and scroll backwards:

...and the barbarians are already inside our gates.

Never, ever, forget:

Where It's 9-11 all the Time: Click the Picture:

"Where it's nine-eleven all the time
and no Sun sets, and no clocks chime
where no voice speaks and no bird trills
the Moon hangs frozen o'er the hills
The winds are still, they seem to say,
Reflect, remember, stop to pray..."

...and at our neighbour's gates, as well:

And then, there is this little problem:

use search engine go to 'Muslims Protest Against Israel ' They have been and still are protesting all over USA .

Where are they when terror attacks happen ?

Here they and their protectors like ANSWER and other libs defending the enemies of our ally in our streets .

Gone are the defenders of liberty in my nation . I knew we were history when Americans allowed the invasion of criminal's latinos to fly their third world flags in our face . And the citizens didn't clean out the whole Whitehouse with their votes and impeachments.And lock up the traitor representatives who joined the invaders .

[backhoe]

There is much merit in what you say.

[gedeon3]

Yet half of those Americans will vote democrat.

[Grandma2]

Sorry but I no longer associate democrat's with Americans . I don't think it is possible to be an American democrat anymore . And beginning to feel same way about the whole bunch of them, repubs's included .

[armymarinemom]

Move along folks. Nothing to see here.

I agree with you. A lot of Americans has gone soft.

[dirtboy]

Are we finally waking up? Or is IBD just polling FR?

IBD is polling a representative sample of America, as opposed to MSM polls that pretend Democrats outnumber Republicans 74-36.

[fish hawk]

If this is true there should not be a problems for the Republicans owning the Congress in 06 or 08.

[dirtboy]

You know what is the definition of insanity?

Running those Nazi salute Islamist photos by a Jewish liberal ... and he still doesn't get it.

Quoting the head of Hiz as saying he is glad Jews are gathered together so they don't have to be hunted down around the world ... and he still doesn't get it.

Instead, he still is drawn to the so-called greviences of Hiz and the Palestinians. He is so drawn to the notions of diversity and believes that American and Israeli power is evil ... that he cannot take the Islamist calls for genocide AGAINST HIS RELIGION at face value.

I've done it. And it failed to register. Which is beyond any rational comprehension.

When a jew leaves God, he is no longer a real jew from what I know . The word jew is from the Tribe of Judah levy and Benjamen . these tribes are the priestly tribes .
