Pew Research Shows Large Shifts in Muslim Attitudes
A recent Pew Survey Muslim Americans: Middle Class and Mostly Mainstream, shows American Muslims continue to consider themselves "mainstream", and generally interested in continued assimilation into American culture. There also seems to be a decline in support for suicide bombers and other extremist tactics across the Muslim world.
That's the good news...
The bad news seems to be that America's image throughout the Muslim world is continuing to erode, and that, " 70 percent of Palestinian respondents saying that suicide bombing that targets civilians in defense of Islam can be often, or at least sometimes, justified."
Stating the obvious Pew president, Andrew Kohut, called that "a very big number".
