Disturbing Poll

25% of young Muslims in America say that suicide attacks are justifiable in some instances. But let's take a bit of a harder look at this.

That means that they think, in theory, that it's ok to blow themselves up for their religion. Does that mean that they'll do it? Unlikely, but it does mean that we should take this report seriously. You'll find all sorts of people who believe something but don't have the guts to do something about it. First off, where are young Muslims in America going to get explosives? Sure, they could stockpile black powder or some other minor explosives such as that, but let's see where things can go wrong.

This is America. Land of the free. That means EVERYONE, including them. Many terrorist attacks didn't happen simply because of the nature of America. They simply took a look around and said to themselves "this place isn't as bad as they said it was". Let's not bullshit, we've got some of the finest women on the planet too. You're telling me that some kid with a girlfriend is gonna go for the bomb rather than the pussy? Very unlikely.

Secondly, when you're young, you have all sorts of stupid things go through your head, mine included. So how much of this is actual "I believe this and I'm going to do it"? I'd say less than a fraction of a percent. That's not to say that we shouldn't take this poll seriously and see what we can do to prevent such things, but let's not "knee jerk" this.
