Oct 9 - American Muslim Survey

A survey was recently taken to evaluate the opinions of Muslims in America and their opinions on various subjects. Most attention has focused on the extent to which American Muslims do or do not support al Qaeda and suicide bombing.

Some findings include:
One of the most striking results was the fact that American Muslims are indistinguishable from other Americans in economic terms.

Muslims here are not a ghettoized, discriminated-against group. Most observers assume this makes them less susceptible to radicalization.

Some American Muslims defend suicide bombings under at least some circumstances
