a minority of younger American Muslims believe that suicide bombings to defend their religion are acceptable

How is blowing up women and babies defending their religion?

As Muslims, we must categorically reject a system that allows for selective violence

Thus, you reject the Koran, which plainly says you are to slay the infidels (non-Muslims). Select the infidels and slay them.

You are marginal Muslims.

The study revealed that American Muslims generally blend comfortably into American society and also revealed that Muslims are largely mainstream with a broad willingness to adopt American customs.

Damn shame the Democrats fight the melting pot as much as they can - They might not be able to stop Muslims from blending into our society, but they can make sure a lot of other immigrants don't....

The Free Muslims Coalition is concerned about the poll results which if accurate may be a consequence of years of selective moral outrage by some Muslim leaders.

As they prepare for Muslim violence in US neighborhoods they attempt to hide their real concern: Young Muslims killing innocent people in the name of Islam makes all Muslims prime recipients of reprisal.

Actually, the numbers I heard were even less promising. Their 13% of Muslims that believe terrorism is "sometimes justified" doubles to 26% if taking Muslims under 30.

Yeah, it's under 50%, but I'd still not qualify that as a minority, taken in this context.

I mean, what the hell?

We're talking about 13% of 2.2 million Muslims in America. That's 280,000 people. All it takes is a dozen or so (0.0004%) to pull off another 9/11 attack.

I bet if you asked blacks in america if it was OK to use violence against white people, more than 25% would say it was OK sometimes.

Why pick on Muslims? Every “oppressed” group probably feels the same way.
