From Investor’s Business Daily in 2007:
What Muslims Really Think
Homeland Security: We can all breathe easier now. The first major poll of the U.S. Muslim community finds that “only” one in four young Muslim Americans would be suicide bombers.
The liberal Pew Research Center, which surveyed 1,050 Muslims earlier this year, did its best to put a PC spin on the results.
It says its “overall” findings confirm that Muslims in America are “mostly mainstream” compared with their more radical co-religionists in Europe.
But as is usually the case with such polls, the devil is in the details.
Data buried deep inside Pew’s 100-page report put the lie to the notion that our Muslim population rejects extremism.
An alarming 26% — or roughly 100,000 — of younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings against non-Muslim “civilian targets” are cool. That’s really not any more comforting than the 35% of young Muslim Brits who told Pew the same thing after some of them bombed the London subway, killing 52 civilians and wounding another 700 or so.
You may recall how pundits here assured us our Muslim youth would never subscribe to such lunacy.

And very likely the TRUE number was higher because many of htose interviewed were probably suspicious and wouldn’t answer truthfully thinking hey would be turned in or watched afterwards-
and let’s not forget folks- these people answering these polls are the people down the road from you- who say ‘Hello” to you, greet you with a smile, act friendly to your face. These people are not some gnarly faced- toothless drooling monsters easily recognizable by their jihad badges/bandanas- they are people we ride the subway with every day- ride busses with, have dinners with, go to school with. And like I said, it’s very likely many polled wouldn’t even answer truthfully fearing being tracked if they did.
Thugs, gang bangers etc generally have a ‘look’ to them that cause us to be cautious around them- But Muslim immigrants/refugees are different- Sure, they are middle eastern for the most part- but like I mentioned, they aint wearing colors, aint wearing tattoos bragging about their crimes like gang bangers do etc- (Not saying Muslims are all criminals- just saying the ones that are active in terrorism don’t go about bragging about it or being visible about it), and we wouldn’t have a clue about their involvement until the day they strike- it only takes a few of them who are hell bent on destroying us to cause massive damage- as we’ve seen
Gang bangers, thugs, criminals etc of course are bad, but they don’t usually commit the same kind of massive damage that people who have been taught to hate us have
Again- We’re faced with a very serious problem, and all these people calling for ‘sympathy’ ‘understanding’ etc can go pound sand. Our government has a responsibility to protect this nation, and they ARE failing to do so!
We all know that suicide bombers have support from fellow muslims who won’t put on the vest. So, if 1 out of 4 are willing to be bombers how many of the other three are willing to be their support system?
