In the U.S.: Nearly 200,000 avow support for suicide attacks

PewPoll2.jpg

The Pew Research Center poll of American Muslims also shows significant support among Muslims in America for suicide bombing and loony conspiracy theories about 9/11. 40% of those who consider themselves Muslims first, which as we have seen is about one million people, don't believe that groups of Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks. So that's about 400,000 conspiracy theorists, plus another 250,000 from among those who consider themselves Americans first. And 130,000 avow support for suicide attacks in some circumstances, while about 50,000 of those who consider themselves Americans first agree, and others refuse to answer.

Robert:
Submitted for your consideration...
population is 1% (these guys tend to round up if the decimal exceeds .5, rounds down if below. Example .8=1, 1.2=1, 1.5=2 and so on).

(CIA factbook)
Still rough, but more accurate than anyone short of US Census Bureau, which also rounds along with the decimal.

Roughly, that amounts to +/- 3,000,000
Even though I know it's way low, this "1 in 5" could easily mean 600,000.
the 40% in denial would mean 1,200,000
(It's a good guess that, of the "refused to answer", some are hostiles who don't want to risk being rightfully tracked by law enforcement, but I also think most fear being targeted by radicals).
Now, if (I suspect) the figures are much higher (ok, let's just say higher), balancing out against other countries, and take the lower of those in turn, it's a better estimate it's closer to 35-40% vs "1 in 5", and that's a low-end estimate.
That would give the jihadist number at about or over 1,000,000 alone.

I am still convinced the actual figures of hostility and denial are way higher than what PEW is admitting to, and I've good reason not to trust their take based on their reported reputation, and if I'm going to err, I choose to err on the side of caution, and make it nearly all 3 million, just to be on the safe side...until they demonstrate otherwise (I'm not holding my breath anytime soon)

Sounds like we're on the same page.

"looney conspiracy theories" hmm?
The official story is the "looney conspiracy theory", and its not just muslims or leftists who are figuring that out(via ideological knee-jerking), there are many of us who are realizing we can free our minds from the media/government created virtual reality(the anti-truth)that has been used to manipulate us and create a population of "willing" slaves.
A critical examination of the "official story" shows just how easy we are manipulated-- they know our weaknesses- pride, fear, (programed)lazy-mindedness- and they exploit them.

LMAO...Kool-Aid Alert!

More to be feared than these 200,000 are the people in government, starting with bush al-saud who always want to bring in MORE muslims...saudi arabia, iraq, etc.
