ICC Note:
Below, is just the beginning of an encouraging and excellent article from Pew Global Attitudes Report. It seems that all the forrific acts of the fundamentalist Muslims are driving a wedge betwenn the moderates and the extremists. Stay tuned. . .
Concerns over Islamic extremism, extensive in the West even before this month’s terrorist attacks in London, are shared to a considerable degree by the publics in several predominantly Muslim nations surveyed. Nearly three-quarters of Moroccans and roughly half of those in Pakistan, Turkey and Indonesia see Islamic extremism as a threat to their countries. At the same time, most Muslim publics are expressing less support for terrorism than in the past. Confidence in Osama bin Laden has declined markedly in some countries and fewer believe suicide bombings that target civilians are justified in the defense of Islam. more
