With the issue of the illegal alien amnesty bill jam down taking up so much time and energy of late, I did not get a chance to link to this report from The Pew Research Center. The report is titled in such a way as to make a claim about American Muslims that is designed to assuage concerns about home grown terrorism in the general public. Pew wants us to be docile. But if you look deeper at the numbers in the report a different and disturbing picture emerges. One third of U.S. Muslims are not concerned about the rise of extermism in America, even with the many instances of thwarted terrorist plots that we have seen recently. And even more troubling is the finding that 8 per cent of Muslims consider suicide terrorist bombings to be justified at least some of the time. Based on the studies own numbers, that would be 8 per cent of the 1.5 million adult Muslims in the country. That's a lot of terrorist sympathizers.
