I figure I'd try to counter the "All Bad News, All The Time!" stance of LABF and his cohorts, using a source they can't attack.

That's easy. Put the ****er on "ignore." Hasn't bothered me at all to roam the forums after I put that putz out of my misery.

Still pretty disgusting! It's apparently still OK to a large percentage of Muslims to blow up civilians.

When it comes to suicide bombings in Iraq, however, Muslims in the surveyed countries are divided. Nearly half of Muslims in Lebanon and Jordan, and 56% in Morocco, say suicide bombings against Americans and other Westerners in Iraq are justifiable. However, substantial majorities in Turkey, Pakistan and Indonesia take the opposite view.

A complex set of attitudes about the place of Islam in politics emerges from the findings. Most people surveyed in predominantly Muslim countries identify themselves first as Muslims, rather than as citizens of their country. Moreover, except in Jordan, there is considerable acknowledgement that Islam is playing a significant role in the political life of these countries.

Anti-Jewish sentiment is endemic in the Muslim world. In Lebanon, all Muslims and 99% of Christians say they have a very unfavorable view of Jews. Similarly, 99% of Jordanians have a very unfavorable view of Jews. Large majorities of Moroccans, Indonesians, Pakistanis and six-in-ten Turks also view Jews unfavorably.

In Morocco, just 26% of the public now say they have a lot or some confidence in bin Laden, down sharply from 49% in May 2003. In Indonesia, the public is now about evenly split, with 35% saying they place at least some confidence in bin Laden and 37% saying they have little or none; that represents a major shift since 2003, when 58% expressed confidence in bin Laden.

In Pakistan, however, a narrow majority (51%) places some measure of confidence in bin Laden, a slight increase from 45% in 2003. And in Jordan, support for the Al Qaeda leader has risen over the last two years from 55% to a current 60%, including 25% who say they have a lot of confidence in him. Unsurprisingly, support for bin Laden in non-Muslim countries is measured in the small single digits.

This is great news for all of mankind*.

*Does not include LABF.

[Meck77]

Still no comment from LABF. Doesn't surprise me. Falling support for Al Qaeda is not in his best interest yet he'll jump all over another terrorist attack with excitement. Pathetic.

I didnt even see this thread ........ I hope to hell it is true ........ What Bothers me though is I dont see Saudia Arabia , Phillippienes , South Asia on the list ...... Pakistian etc .......

It would seem that while a growing number of muslims disapprove of bin ladne and terrorism, the same folks don't approve of the US foreign policy. So, if their govts actually govern in accordance to the people's wills, their foreign policies won't favor our own. I view that as a good thing eventually, but only because the neocon agenda would be opposed.
