Just a few jihadists here and there could make a bloody mess

Tiny Minority, Big Problem
By Michelle Malkin

If we believe the spin of Associated Press headline writers, there's
little cause for concern about a new Pew poll of American Muslims.
"Most U.S. Muslims reject suicide bombings," the AP headline writer
blithely reports.

But the details of the poll show that the always-downplayed tiny
minority of jihadi sympathizers in America is cause for big concern.

The poll found that while 80 percent of U.S. Muslims believe suicide
bombings of civilians to defend Islam cannot be justified, fully 13
percent said they can be justified, at least rarely. One in four
younger American Muslims find suicide bombings in defense of Islam
"acceptable at least in some circumstances."

About 29 percent of those surveyed had either favorable views about al
Qaeda or did not express an opinion. Yes, they either gave al Qaeda
thumbs-up or had no opinion about the terrorist group responsible for
slaughtering nearly 3,000 of their fellow Americans on 9/11 and
responsible for a global bloodbath from Bali to Britain, the Middle
East, and beyond.

A third of those polled believe the invasion of Afghanistan to take
out al Qaeda training camps after 9/11 was wrong. In addition, only 40
percent of all American Muslims believe Arab men carried about the
9/11 attacks -- joining Charlie Sheen, Rosie O'Donnell and the inside-
job conspiracy-mongers. The poll focused particular concern on jihadi
sympathy among young Muslims and black Muslims:

"Muslim Americans reject Islamic extremism by larger margins than do
Muslim minorities in Western European countries. However, there is
somewhat more acceptance of Islamic extremism in some segments of the
U.S. Muslim public than others. Fewer native-born African American
Muslims than others completely condemn al Qaeda. In addition, younger
Muslims in the U.S. are much more likely than older Muslim Americans
to say that suicide bombing in the defense of Islam can be at least
sometimes justified."

"It is a hair-raising number," Radwan Masmoudi, president of the
Washington-based Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy, told the
AP. Indeed. The numbers should be a wake-up call, not another excuse
for the mainstream media to downplay the threat of homegrown jihad.

The poll comes on the heels of the Fort Dix jihadi terror bust
involving young, American-raised Muslims and the conviction this week
of Muslim doctor Rafiq Abdus Sabir -- born in Harlem, based in Florida
-- who had pledged loyalty to al Qaeda and vowed to treat injured al
Qaeda fighters so they could return to Iraq to kill Americans. A
Brooklyn bookstore owner and a Washington, D.C., cab driver also
pleaded guilty and were sentenced to prison in the case. The tiny
minority of jihadi sympathizers aren't just sitting around stewing
harmlessly about their beliefs. They are recruiting, proselytizing,
plotting and growing.

I'm reminded of a similar poll conducted in Indonesia last fall. One
in 10 Indonesian Muslims was found to support bombings in defense of
Islam. They took the news a little more seriously in "moderate"
Indonesia. One in 10 in Indonesia, you see, equals 19 million Muslims
for violent jihad. That's just Indonesia.

Recent polling in Britain found that 13 percent of British Muslims
believe the London subway bombers are righteous "martyrs," and 7
percent approve of suicide bombing attacks on civilians in Britain in
some circumstances.

Now, add that to the 16 percent of French Muslims, 16 percent of
Spanish Muslims, 7 percent of German Muslims, 28 percent of Egyptian
Muslims, 14 percent of Pakistani Muslims, and 46 percent of Nigerian
Muslims who told Pew last summer that "violence against civilian
targets in order to defend Islam" can be justified "often/sometimes."

A few fringe jihadists here, a few fringe jihadists there, and soon
you're talking about bloody real numbers

Computer specialist Didier Stevens put up a simple text advertisement
on the Internet offering downloads of a computer virus for people who
did not have any.

Surprisingly, he found as many as 409 people clicking on the ad saying
"Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!" during a 6-month
advertising campaign on Google's Adword, said the IT security expert.

"Some of them must have clicked on it by mistake. Some must have been
curious or stupid," said Mikko Hypponen, head of research at data
security firm F-Secure.

How are things in furry boot toon, bobbin?

You do realize, that even though you are an aged wean, that you are a
****ing idiot. Your senility and general stupidity is no excuse.

(Oh, looking at the crosspost line, I suppose I should say that a "wean" is
an infant child in Scottish patois and the ankle-biter robin has a usenet
injection point of Aberdeen.)

BTW, PJ, Good article which I also saw this morning. In the last few days
we have had smoke and the acrid fire smell in the air here. Rather
nauseating.........and now that will give the wean, who is obsessed with me,
something to do today. :-)

Rolls off me like water, though. I am conditoned to the defense
mechanism of left wing whackos in their unfounded accusations
attempting to
convey an impression I am somebody different than who I really am.

Poor peabrain, we all know it's your job to try to convey an impression
that you're somebody and something other than the pathologically deluded
idiot you are. No one would want to take that away from you.

Pocketa-pocketa, Walt...peabrain.

I meant what i said. Your attempts at apology for the inexcusable actually
becomes comedic in an odd way.
