...if you were to put a percentage on it, what ratio of the world's Muslim population, would you say, were jubilant?

You're changing the subject. You made a claim about the Palestinians, not the "world's Muslim population." It is well known that Palestinians celebrated en masse, with the possible exception of Hanan Aswari and some others bright enough to understand the implications. If you are not aware of the ample documentation of this fact, I suggest you do some research before you make the claim again.

A significant percentage of the "world's Muslims" did not celebrate the attack on the United States, although, disturbingly, a small but significant minority did, and a huge percentage of Palestinians certainly did.

You made a claim about the Palestinians

Ooops, I think we found the culprit! I was not considering just Palestinians in my statements. There's where we missed each other.

As far as the Palestinians, I don't see their issue as religiously motivated, rather I see it as religiously reinforced. Sort of like saying a prayer before hitting the football field.. It always amazed me how both sides will pray for victory! Even funnier (in a dark way) is when folks proclaim that "God is on our side." Very conceited.. I could see striving to be on God's side, but to be so presumptious..

I was talking about Muslims in general. I am no enemy of yours, quite the contrary, I belong to the nation which first answered your invoking the 5th article of NATO and even was (maybe still is) flying NATO missions over US soil to protect you.

Cheers.
