What American Muslims Believe Just May Shock You

The Pew Center today released a public opinion poll conducted among American Muslims. You can see the complete report here.

Interesting thing: the results are either banal or extremely disturbing, not much in between. For example, a signifcant majority of US muslims (60%) refuse to believe that a group of Arabs perpetrated the attacks of 9/11. Now, this is not Muslims in a Palestinian refugee camp or under the thumb of Egyptian dictatorship. These are American Muslims with access to our (degenerating) marketplace of ideas.

But that's nothing compared to this: one out of four (26%) of American muslims between the ages of 18 and 29 believe that suicide bombing can be justified! 15% -- not a neglible percentage -- believe that suicide bombing is often or sometimes justified.
