Typical Gallup garbage. How many Americans have negative views of these nine Muslim nations? Who really cares?
The ruthless characterization, I agree with, and think it is good thing. Considering the small offences in Afghanistan that qualified for capital punishment, I'd say they have no leg to stand on anyway. Afghanistan: You cut your beard off, you are killed. America: You run a plane into the WTC, we kill you. Sounds like we are even. Arrogant? Well how about these poll takers win a couple wars, acknowledge that women are equals, allow their people to vote, and stop having sex with camels. Then we will see about less condescension. The little sidebar is particularily funny. They fear the impact of different values on their cultures? The world isn't getting any bigger. They can try to isolate themselves from the world all they want. It wont work. It's really hard to nail down what American values even are, other than the freedoms that we guarantee. The US wont even be majority caucasian in a few years. Values differ from neighborhood to neighborhood. So either they are saying they are frightened of freedom, or they are just ignorant of what those values they are so frighted on are. jon Jerry Johnson wrote: > On another note, an article on CNN that appeared today: > > http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/02/26/gallup.muslims/index.html > > The most interesting part for me: > > <snip> > The survey also found that 61 percent said they did not believe Arab > groups carried out the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
