Numbers

TB — 11/23/2006 5:03:02 AM (archived)

Start with this survey. Check the links to other parts of the survey as well.

The numbers are in some ways reassuring, with great majorities rejecting violence against civilians. We are not at war with an entire religion, and you don't have to look at all of the survey answers to realize that the problems and attitudes are not simple ones.

But then you take the percentages of those who believe such violence can be justified--against civilians, mind you, not occupying armies--and calculate them against population numbers.

Do you know what ten percent of Indonesian Muslims is?
