POLL: 1 IN 4 MUSLIM-AMERICANS CAN FIND SUICIDE BOMBINGS JUSTIFIABLE
A recent survey by Pew Research Center shows that Muslims in the U.S. are more assimilated to western culture and more concerned about terrorism than their counterparts in Western Europe and elsewhere. However, American muslim youths seem to have more sympathy for religious fundamentalists than their parents. Of Muslim-Americans under 30, 25% said suicide bombing could be justified in rare circumstances. (Chicago Tribune)
