The Tiny Percentage of Radical Islamists in the U.S.

The Associated Press is spinning furiously, trying to find the best angle to take on this story.
Of approximately 2.35 million Muslims in the U.S., 5% (there’s that five percent again!) expressed a favorable opinion of al Qaeda. That’s 117,500 people, already in the U.S., agreeing with our enemies that we should be subjugated or killed.
60% do not believe that Arab men carried out the 9/11 attacks. That’s 1,410,000 people, living among us (and remember that doesn’t count the non-Muslim, leftist lunatics like Rosie O’Donnell) who believe in a conspiracy theory of some sort.
13% say that suicide bombings of civilians to defend Islam are justified. That’s 305,500 residents of the United States who think it’s okay to strap on a bomb and kill people who are going about their daily business.
Let’s see, that was 19 people on 9/11, and four on 7/7. Hair raising, indeed.
Update: Hot Air has a lot more on this poll, including some very interesting analysis.
