Muslims in America less concerned than non-Muslims about rise of Islamic extremism

From the Pew Research Center poll of American Muslims.

Isn't this backwards? Shouldn't Muslims be more concerned than non-Muslims about the rise of attachment to jihadism and Islamic supremacism? After all, given that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in America abhor terrorism, as we hear again and again, shouldn't they be directing their efforts to eradicating sympathy for the jihad terrorists from their community?

But instead, it seems that many are more concerned about perceived discrimination than about jihadists in their ranks:

19% list discrimination, and only 3% cite "Radical Islam/extremists."

Something is terribly wrong with this picture, assuming the targeted study group is, indeed, who they claim they are.

Surely you're not suggesting the poll is...fudged?
lol

Obviously, discrimination is *their* problem. Extremism isn't...

Certainly they are worried more than non-muslims. Their lives would be uprooted should there ever be a round up and mass deportation due to some extremist attack from within their ranks.

Look at our blog and see what happens when the fundies think that someone has ratted on them for trying to murder Americans.
