Almost seven in ten American adults say they'd be fine with a mosque in their community, according to a CNN poll.
That finding comes just weeks after another poll found that barely half of Americans believed Muslims in the U.S. supported America, and after Rep. Peter King (R-NY) held controversial hearings into the radicalization of American Muslims. Meanwhile, several states, including Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia have considered bills to ban Sharia Law.
In the new CNN poll, 69% of respondents said they'd be "okay" with a mosque in the neighborhood, compared to 28% who said they would not be.
People living in Southern rural areas were more likely than those in cities to oppose the idea of a mosque in their community. According to the poll, only 42% of "rural Southerns" said they would be "okay" with a mosque in their neighborhood, compared to about three-fourths of "those who live in cities and suburbs."

This poll was probably taken to help Dick Durbin out with his upcoming pro-Islam Senate hearings.
Whom did they pole?
CNN poll??
Wait till that “pretty” sound wakes them up at 5 in the morning...
They’re pole-ing us.
You don’t actually believe this crap do you?
FOOLS
MUUUUUZAAAAHAHAHAHAAAMUZZZAAHAHAMUZAMUZAMUZAAAAH!!!!!!
Still support it?
Does this mean 70% won’t mind being beheaded some time in the future?
I would sell and move out. It disturbs me to even see a Muslim when I’m traveling.
How many of those 7 out of 10 were telling the truth?
I do not want one in my country.
and 70% of those are fibbing
This is a stupid poll. Do you really think respondents are going to tell the truth here and be called a zenophobe? It is also the case that there are barely enough rag heads to fill the mosques that are already built. I live in a general population of almost 1 million people and there is 1 mosque. And it is a some converted commercial property.
I don’t like those terrorist plotting dens in my city, let alone my neighborhood. Who the hell did they poll? Muslims?
I don’t like the idea, but having ‘em all in one place might come in handy
LOL!
