"Of course most Muslims do not support such violence as terrorism."

But a majority opposed the overthrow of the Taliban. Square that circle, please.

The majority of the people living under the rule of the Taiban did not oppose the overthrow, the majority of the people NOT living under the rule of the Taliban opposed the overthrow.

The question is whether they opposed it on religious grounds "fight the invaders", because they supported terrorism, or whether they opposed the idea of America and other western powers conducting what they (and some of us) see as nation building by the US, and in accordance to western needs.

The majority had no idea what the Taliban were really about. In fact, the majority of Moslems live in such wretchedly impoverished places it's likely they really have no idea what America is.
