Damn!
"Nearly a decade after the Sept. 11 attacks ignited a wave of anxiety about Muslims, many in the country’s biggest and arguably the most cosmopolitan city still have an uneasy relationship with Islam. One fifth of New Yorkers acknowledged animosity toward Muslims. Thirty-three percent said that, compared with other American citizens, Muslims were more sympathetic to terrorists. And nearly 60 percent said that their friends had negative feelings toward Muslims because of 9/11."

I wonder what percentage of American Muslims sympathize with terrorists. I doubt it would be higher than 1%.
59% of Indonesians supported Bin Ladin? That's surprising. And only 56% of Jordanians? I think a bunch of Jordanians were lying in that poll.
New Yorkers are conflicted in a poll about the right to build a mosque near ground zero:
"It polled 1,497 registered voters throughout New York state; 54 percent said Muslims have the right to build a mosque near ground zero, but in a separate question, 53 percent said they shouldn't be allowed to do so because of the sensitivities of victims' relatives. It had a plus or minus 2.5 percentage point margin of error."
"most Middle Easterners who emigrate to America are happy to escape the hardcore Islamists"
In Britain, the extremists tend to be second or third generation, born in Britain. I don't know if this is true in the US.
Dolly;
Where did you ever see Jews dancing in the streets and passing out candy on the news that some Muslim children had been killed by an Israeli missile?
The answer is never. Try again.
