"Hair-Raising" Islamic Ideology Within Our Borders

Forget fighting terror abroad, new research indicates there may be bigger problems in our own backyard!

Not Many U.S. Muslims Blame al Qaeda (AP)

According to a study released May 22, 2007 by Pew Research Center:

- 7% of U.S. Muslims under 30 indicated favorable  view to al Qaeda;

- 26% of U.S. Muslims under 30   answered "Yes"  to   the pollsters  question: "Can Suicide Bombing of Civilian Targets to Defend Islam  be Justified?" 

60% of the   Muslim Americans "do not believe Arab men carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."


 

Think!  One in four younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings of Civilian Targets to defend their religion are acceptable at least in some circumstances,  a poll says.


"It is a hair-raising number," said Radwan Masmoudi, president of the Washington-based Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy, which promotes the compatibility of Islam with democracy.
