Chicago - By an almost two-to-one margin, Midwest Lutherans voiced solid opposition to decapitation, suicide bombing, and chemical warfare in a new comprehensive survey of their social attitudes.
The Pew Research survey, conducted May 13-19, queried nearly 2,500 randomly selected Lutherans at flea markets and convenience stores across the Midwest. Interviews were conducted in High Plains Twang, Great Lakes Nasal and Flat Ohio Valley Bland.
If there is one headline here, its how remarkably moderate the Lutheran community is, said Pew director Andrew Kohut of the survey, which was co-sponsored by the Council on American-Yooper Relations. It really paints a picture of a dynamic culture in or somewhere near the American mainstream.

Being Lutheran myself, I take a lot of heat wanting green Jello classified as a WMD.
Great stuff.

Gotta watch out for those Lutherans. Never know if it’s chicken or ham for Sunday brunch after church. They ARE hard to figure.

Lutherans are fine except for their radical religious leaders.

It is known that Lutherans have better coffee, more of it and they have it all the time. I am for that.

Well, I guess the Lutherans are OK. It’s those Baptists you have to watch out for.

Yes, but why is this alleged moderate majority of Lutherans silent when it comes to condemning the violent acts of their less inhibited co-religionists?

Just finished Mark Steyn’s excellent book “America Alone” in which he quoted with dismay the stat that showed 12% of young Muslims in the UK were okay with suicide bombing. Wonder what he is thinking now that the new Pew poll reports 25% of young Muslims in the US condone suicide bombing when it is “necessary.” This translates into about 137,000 future jihadis among us. And the Left is worried about Dick Cheney and global warming...

Kohut noted that fewer than 6% of respondents physically attacked field interviewers during the survey.Well, there ya go! That's good news, isn't it?
