Mona Charen (in her blog for 6/28/06), says "Daniel Pipes has a depressing round up of the findings of that Pew Research Poll about attitudes of Muslims worldwide. Some of the headlines:
In no Arab country polled does a majority believe that Arabs were responsible for 9/11. They tend to believe it was a conspiracy hatched by the United States or Israel or both.
Between 13 percent (Germany) and 69 percent (Nigeria) believe suicide bombing is justified.
Large numbers of Muslims are inclined to blame outsiders for their problems.
Conspiracy theories also pertain to larger topics. Asked, “What is most responsible for Muslim nations’ lack of prosperity?” between 14 percent (in Pakistan) and 43 percent (in Jordan) blame the policies of the U.S. and other Western states, as opposed to indigenous problems, such as a lack of democracy or education, or the presence of corruption or radical Islam.
Some of the most alienated and radical Muslims anywhere on earth are to be found in London.
Many more of them regard Westerners as violent, greedy, immoral, and arrogant than do their counterparts in France, Germany, and Spain. In addition, whether asked about their attitudes toward Jews, responsibility for 9/11, or the place of women in Western societies, their views are notably more extreme.
