25% of Young American Muslims Believe Suicide Attacks are Justified
May 22nd, 2007 by mpinkeyes
About one-quarter of young American Muslims believe to some extent that suicide bombings can be justified to defend Islam, while nearly 80 percent of all U.S. Muslims reject such attacks, a survey showed on Tuesday
This according to a recent poll. This is kind of disturbing. The survey showed 25% support for suicide bombings by 18 to 30 year old AMERICAN Muslims. 80% of all US Muslims condemn this type of attack, so where are the young Muslims learning this from?
If the 18 to 30 year old demographic has 25% support for suicide bombings by AMERICAN Muslims, what is the percentage of support for terrorist activity around the world?
25% of Young Amercian Muslims beleive suicide attacks are OK

Always do right. This will gratify many people, and astonish the rest.

Looks like they're not that different from the rest of the population to me.
As per the Christian Science Monitor:
QUOTEThe survey, conducted in December 2006 by the University of Maryland's prestigious Program on International Public Attitudes, shows that only 46 percent of Americans think that "bombing and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians" are "never justified," while 24 percent believe these attacks are "often or sometimes justified."
