GB (GASBAG)
Is a mendacious, equivocating, lying worm of a troll.
Holly McLachlan had him (and the rest of these sockpuppet twits) dead to rights on the previous thread.
This little narcissist is just getting off on being the center of attention.
Racist bigots with Non-American agendas
No, the propagandist at MEMRI are not strictly rightwing boogeymen. They are strictly Zionist extremists, who crave total dominion over Judea & Samaria, and who want predominantly Gentile Americans to provide cannon fodder and cover for their efforts. Their rhetorical efforts, yours, Golden Boy's, and (I've long suspected) shooter242's are devoted to stupefying and enraging the dumb goys. I expect little of you with respect to Arab Muslims; I battle my own dislike of their tribal culture and its over-focus on appearances and public "honor". But your inherent contempt for the lives and intelligence of me and mine is something I'm competent to address.
Go find somewhere else to spew propaganda that serves your interests at the expense of common Americans like me. I will attend a graduation party this weekend for the son of a cousin who will be signing up soon, if he hasn't already. His sole allegiance is to America, as is mine. It happens to be all we have to hold dear.
You haven't written a letter to this forum in order to educate us about the plight of Muslim women -- you have done so in an attempt to make Glenn's readers useful to stateside Likudnik-wannabe extremists. Who hold us in contempt. A sentiment which I can't return. They are beneath it.

"And again, my desire here is to talk about the realities of Islam and not to engage in the usual wishful thinking or purposeful mendacity of those who defend it. The results of this poll are pretty stark."
So.....what are the realities of Islam? Say what you've wanted to say. I'm here to learn.

TheHallmark and Deering
It seems only fair to respond to posts that directly address me. You are kidding yourself, Deering, if you think that I've added nothing to this discussion. You may violently disagree with me but my numbers and analysis have clearly touched a nerve.
Far from chuckling about this discussion, I find it very disheartening. If you had asked me before the poll results how widespread al Qaeda support was amongst Muslims in America, I would not have put it any where near 25% (worst case) or even 5% (which even the most pollyannish person must see in the poll results.)
If comparing that to the violent natures of American Christians makes you feel better, good for you. It does nothing for me. Is that what you want to get back to, TheHallmark?

Tax Cuts or National Security..?
Look there's no doubt that many Muslims tacitly support the attacks when successful by the Terrorists such as the thousands who ran into the streets in Paterson and West Paterson NJ cheering as the World Trade Center burned and then even more ran out cheering as they fell..
But those are the Moderates, so there's only a few tens of thousands of them who might act if they believe they have the upper hand and Bush supports this with his immigration policy..
Bay Ridge Brooklyn is now called Beirut as many of you may know, or Bay-Root, in Brooklynese..
After Peal Harbor we over reacted and forced many loyal and very good Japanese into camps so now after September 11th 2001 we have allowed them to flood into America after slaughtering nearly three thousand of us..
I think that's reasonable what's more important your children's lives or being politically correct..?
Politically Correct of course..!
Any I don't give a damn anymore I'm up on a mountain top and can see anyone coming for a long long ways..as for those of you who live in NYC, well your probably getting a big Tax Cut so that's all that matters, and so who cares if your dead meat..!
I am completely serious about this and there's no cynicism what so ever to this post, just remember when you crowd into that subway car tomorrow only 25% of those young Muslims want to see you dead and G.W. Bush is the "Decider!"
I hope that's a big Tax Cut you got, a really big one..!

Goldenboy
All of the responders should actually read the report regarding the qustion about the 9/11 bombings. When interpreting the resultes, folks should keep in mind that "Arabs" do not include people from Iran, Pakistan and many other Muslim countries. One would actually need to know that the 9/11 perpetrators were mostly from Saudi Arabia (15 of the 19) to know that they were Arab. If you believed that some of the perpetrators were from Iran or Pakistan, for example, you would not know how to answer the question. The actual question was as follows:
Do you believe groups of Arabs carried out the attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, or don't you believe this?
ONLY 28% answered that they did not believe groups of Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks (not 60% stated by Goldenboy).
Another 32% refused to answer the question or did not know the answer to the question.
The poll followed up with the 28% who answered that they did not believe and asked who they did believe was responsible. 18% either didn't know or didn't believe in the original question. 7% believed it was a U.S. government conspiracy (and I would speculate more than 7% of non-Muslim Americans would believe the same given widespread conspiracy theories). 1% believed it was Isreal/Jews. 1% believed others or non-Muslims (which would include Iranians and all others from non-Arab Muslim countries). And 1% believed crazy and/or misguided people (which is indisputably true).
Consequently, the answers to this question cannot be considered remarkable or out of the mainstream in any way. Goldenboy, only irrational hatred and misguided bias would cause one to see a threat in this question and the actual response to it.

And Sysprog proved it
by digging up his comments at varois blogs over the recent past.
That post is on this thread I think.
