#1 You left this finding out, which I thought was the most interesting...

Only 40 percent said they believe Arab men carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

#3 nearly 80% of Muslims in the USA say suicide bombings are never justified to "defend Islam," but nearly a quarter of those under 30 think such attacks are OK in some circumstances.

25% think suicide bombings are O.K. in some circumstances. What circumstances? This is alarming. These folks should be watched. We don't need this here. Suppose non-Muslims decided that it was OK to shoot up or blow up Muslim communities such as Detroit, etc.? What the hell would these jackasses think of such a poll?

#4 Following the pattern of Euro muslims. Second generation more radical than their immigrant fathers.

Foreign born muslims: 65%
Before 1980 - 11%
1980-1989 - 15%
1990-1999 - 21%
2000-2007 - 18%
2000-2009 - 25% (extrapolated)

So even after Sept 11, 2001 atrocities and a war, even more muslims than ever before are allowed to immigrate. Well done our elected leaders. When you get bought by the Sauds, you stay bought.

#5 tu3031,

I knew there was a document linked off this page. But, I didn't have a chance to link off the first story. I had to step away. I was counting that people would likely go to the original link and get the second document there which was more extensive.

I will reference secondary links in the future.

#6 "We have crazies just like other faiths have them," Eide Alawan, an employee of the Islamic Society of North America, one of the nation's largest mosques, tells the wire service.

Yeah, but in the faith I grew up in, 'crazy' was defined as altering the lefse recipe... not, you know, cutting the heads off non-Lutherans.

Alawan says killing innocents goes against the tenets of Islam.
Could Alawan define 'innocent' as he or she uses it in this context, please? Are 'infidels' ever innocent? How about apostates?

#7 This is the sort of shit that is going to get America's Muslim population rounded up and put into internment camps or just plain deported. More importantly, for those who think that America's "melting pot" effect will better assimilate these immigrants than they have in Europe, go back and examine how the second generation Muslims are becoming more radicalized. It is the exact same pattern of increasing jihadism. This is a recipe for disaster. All Muslim immigration needs to be halted immediately.
