Muslims turning back on terrorism?
According to this report:
70 per cent of Palestinians believe suicide bombing is justified but support for terrorism is falling in the wider Muslim world, according to a comprehensive US survey
What kind of a country would believe that? Anyway, the respite is supposed to be that support for terrorism is in fact falling.
In Lebanon, those believing that suicide bombing is justified often or sometimes has slumped from 74 per cent five years ago to 34 per cent now. In Pakistan, where Islamist violence has surged, the figure is just nine per cent.
The support for Osama Bin Laden has also supposedly fallen! Why am I not astonished?!
In parallel, the Pew group reported, “large drops in support for Osama bin Laden,” the al-Qaeda founder blamed for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
It cited Jordan, where the percentage of Muslims who have “confidence in bin Laden as a world leader” has slumped 36 percentage points since 2003.
And read this:
Across the Muslim world, majorities fret that the US could become a military threat to their country, including 93 per cent of Bangladeshis and 73 per cent of Pakistanis.
Do I need to say anything at all about where all this is going to end?
Somehow I never believe “comprehensive US surveys”.
They twist and turn the facts to suit themselves :)
But having said that, the Muslim countries have themselves realized that terrorism is not getting them anything and hopefully it will all subside soon.
Then again, I guess it will never go off completely. There will always be two sides of a coin and hence violence and peace lovers also :)
Adi, yaak bari intha post? I agree with shark absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Shark:
I agree with you. But I doubt about it subsiding soon. Sounds remote.
