One in four younger Muslims in the United States believes suicide bombings to defend Islam are justified in at least some circumstances, although nearly 80% of all Muslim Americans say such attacks are never acceptable, and most are critical of Al Qaeda, according to a nationwide poll released today.
The study, by the Pew Research Center, paints a picture of a richly diverse, complex and still largely immigrant community that for the most part has blended comfortably into American life.
Most Muslim Americans are moderate, mainstream and middle class, the study shows. They are largely assimilated, happy with their lives and have adopted such core American values as a belief that hard work will lead to success. And their income and educational levels are comparable with most Americans.
In a conference call today from Washington, D.C., Pew Research Center director Andrew Kohut said that the support for suicide bombings--although limited--was one of the few trouble spots the study found in an overwhelmingly positive portrait of the U.S. Muslim community.
Overall, 78% of Muslim Americans said suicide bombings of civilian targets to defend Islam cannot be justified; 13% say they can be, in some circumstances. The view is strongest among those younger than 30, but for all Muslim Americans, such support is far lower than among Muslims in many other nations, including in several Western European countries.
The poll also found that most Muslim Americans are Democrats or lean that way, but also tend to be social conservatives.

Dopes. And why are we letting more Muslims into the country?
No, you haven’t been listening to our politicians and conservative TV and radio talking heads. These are muslims, adherents of the religion of peace. It’s a radical, fascist few who hate us.
Urgh. The party of surrender is favored by the 'peace loving' muslims. Why am I not surprised?
Can you imagine if instead of Muslims it was Christians and instead of “suicide bombings” it was “abortion clinic bombings”?
What percentage of Americans think that killing “younger Muslims” is OK. Let’s think about that. It’s a matter of survival.
Names and addresses please
Well, you can watch the heads a-rollin'
You can build some bombs that blow up at the mosque
When the imams start a spinnin'
bout a so-called peace religion at the mosque
Like the france invasion they are here in THIS nation at the mosque
You can swing your swords at Jews
You can even worship the moon at the mosque
Camel jockey tyrants rule us
there's no music to confuse us at the mosque
All these rats exist to train terrorists at the mosque
Let's roll!
Ah, let's go to the mosque
Let's go to the mosque (allah willing)
Let's go to the mosque (allah willing)
Let's go to the mosque
Come on, let's go to the mosque
Let's roll!
Ah-lah-lah-lah, Ah-lah-lah-lah
Ah-lah-lah-lah, Ah-lah-lah-lah, at the mosque!
That's just because they feel alienated and powerless. I'm sure if we encourage another 10 million or so to relocate here, they'll leave all that jihad stuff behind and turn into Ward Cleavers.
Maybe they'd like to meet the 200,000+ on the Secret Service's list of folks to watch (as the President or others under their protection travel around the country). I seriously doubt most of 'em like Moslems.

PING 4 later
When these poor, unrepresented, voiceless, oppressed, disenfranchised yutes start blowing themselves up in schools, malls and Wal Marts you can be sure of two things: The Federal Gooberment won’t be able to stop it and when they deploy police and National Guard it will not be to protect you. It will be to protect mosques and islamic centers from “vigilantes”.
I’ll bet they vote Democrat
Then you’d be right. they’re FAR more likely to”identify with the Democratic party” - and more likely to say they’re “muslim first” - not American first. I finally found a newslink to a pdf file of this poll:

Some of the data (post-whitewash)is terrifying...
The Muslims turned out here in Virginia in record numbers. 50,000 cast their vote for Webb, who only beat Allen by 6,000 votes.
Synopsis of article:
We (United States) have the best Muslims in the world, only one in four young believe in mass murder, far lower than most countries.
