So even in a terrorist state, only 25% support suicide bombings. Pakistan
is almost all Muslim, I would think if this was as mainstream as you say,
there would be a much higher level of support there.
It's the question of 'support' that has Rick posting. What does
support mean here? Does it mean answering someone's poll or does it
mean strapping grenades to your oldest son and sending him off to kill
infidels? Then the negative space around this issue is 'condemnation'
as in how many leading Muslims condemn the terror attacks (and by
inference tacitly 'support' them?) I can't personally name an Imams
so I'm not sure if I heard a condemnation I could attribute it
properly to a leading Muslim. For that matter, I don't recall the
local Archbishop condemning the IRA activities in the 70s. Does that
make him a terror supporter?
