I don't know. If a survey of Christian Americans stated that about one out of ten thought that burning heretics at the stake was "sometimes" a good idea, I bet it would make larger headlines.
Frank is right in that supporting terrorism isn't the same as actually being one, but what group do you think terrorists come from? Keep in mind that this is a survey of American Muslims.
Then there's this paragraph in the survey article:
^...U.S. Muslims are far less accepting of suicide attacks than Muslims in many other nations. In Pew surveys last year, support in some Muslim countries exceeded 50 percent, while it was considered justifiable by about one in four Muslims in Britain and Spain, and one in three in France. ^
Those are damn high numbers. Modern-day Islam is not, all things considered, a benign faith. Neither was a lot of Christianity hundreds of years ago. We got over it, maybe they will too. Unfortunately, now we live in a nuclear age.
I note that the survey puts the number of Muslim Americans at about 2.35 million. The real number has always been fuzzy.
