As the US government pushes for peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), a recently-released poll by the Pew Research Center suggests that the Obama administration’s apparent optimism over the prospects for peace may be somewhat misplaced.

In a survey held across 11 different nationalities with large Muslim populations, Muslim respondents were asked about their views on “Islamic extremism.” The results showed uniform opposition to such ideologies, as well as widespread rejection of suicide bombings—in all but one set of respondents.

A sizable majority (62%) of respondents from the “Palestinian Territories” (referring to Palestinian Authority-controlled Judea and Samaria, and Hamas-run Gaza) answered that suicide bombings were at least sometimes justified—nearly double that of the second-largest body of support (Lebanon, 33%).

Muslims from the “Palestinian Territories” were also way ahead of the pack when it came to the percentage of respondents who felt that suicide bombings were “often” justified: a whopping 37%. In comparison, the next highest percentage of respondents who answered the same was in Senegal, at a mere 11%. …

Here’s an idea which will let both the muzzies and the civilized world be satisfied. They can suicide bomb each other.

All they want.

We’ll give them the bombs.

And we won’t even let the Obamadork-muslim try and stop them.

Not even with the backing of the McQueeg-gigolo-idiot.

As I heard on liberal cry on taxpayer subsidized Pacifica Radio during the first term of GW Bush... “They use the only weapons they HAVE, their bodies! (*sob*cry*cry)”.

That was during Pacifica’s coverage of some rally in Washington during the run up to the war in Iraq.

I remember how they jumped up and down in the streets for joy on 9/11. Keep them out of this country.

Moderate Islam is too extremist for me. It accepts the segregation (under penalty of death) of Mecca and Medina and the complete lack of religious freedom in the home country of these cities.

Where is the outrage?

I thought a million muslims were supposed to come to DC today and tell us how they stand against Islamic terrorism.

Moderates shrug.

Good news that the second highest is only 33%. I’m surprised.

Focus prayers accordingly. The optimal courses of action will follow.

It’s not a mongrel race but it’s a mongrel religion...They have nothing to look forward to in old age...May as well blow up...

Not too many are willing to work for a living...They can’t all sell jewelry or cell phone covers in some kiosk somewhere...

I say help them out with their dilemma...Be merciful to their miserable existence...

And every time they get blown up from an Israeli bomb, they can brag to allah that they helped reduce the Israeli weapons arsenal...Allah will be proud...
