Few Muslims 'back suicide bombs'

Muslims are finally finding out about the radical class within us who have hijacked our religion. In Pakistan, the support for suicide bombs have declined from 30% in 2002 to 10%.

Few Muslims ‘back suicide bombs’

Support for suicide bombings against civilians has fallen sharply across the Muslim world since 2002, a major survey has suggested.

The Global Opinion Trends survey, by the US-based Pew Research Centre, polled 45,000 people in 47 countries.

It also found widespread optimism in poor countries that the next generation will enjoy better lives.

And it suggested that people viewed the US as the most friendly country in the world and the most feared.

There is also declining support among Muslims for Osama Bin Laden. In Jordan, just 20% express a lot or some confidence in Bin Laden, down from 56% four years ago.

However, the survey found broad concern among Muslims that tensions between Sunni and Shia are not limited to Iraq and represent a growing problem for the Muslim world.

Re: Few Muslims 'back suicide bombs'

I think even the minority who do say they support OBL and AQ, only say it out of anger and frustration at the USA/Israel/Indian etc. goverments rather than out of religious conviction that he's fighting for God's cause or that following him will get them nymphs in Paradise, like the media claims. Their motivations are political and emotional rather than religious.

If Islamic doctrine is followed then that forbids killing non-combatant civillians, animals, trees/plants during war and comitting suicide.
