According to Forbes :

According to a Pew opinion survey of Egyptians from June 2010, 59 percent said they back Islamists. Only 27% said they back modernizers. Half of Egyptians support Hamas. Thirty percent support Hizbullah and 20% support al Qaida. Moreover, 95% of them would welcome Islamic influence over their politics. When this preference is translated into actual government policy, it is clear that the Islam they support is the al Qaida Salafist version.

Eighty two percent of Egyptians support executing adulterers by stoning, 77% support whipping and cutting the hands off thieves. 84% support executing any Muslim who changes his religion.

Reflecting upon these statistics, why should I care if 73% of the Egyptial Muslim filth starve to death? Islam, the socio-political system of death and destruction.

My cynical side believes those figures.

My hopeful side hopes the survey respondents were just giving those answers because saying you're not pro-Islam is not healthy in an Islamic country with lots of hardline fundamentalists.
