Guess who supports terrorism?

Via (and many thanks to) Lenin's Tomb: Guess who supports terrorism? ---

About a quarter of all Americans:

Those who think that Muslim countries and pro-terrorist attitudes go hand-in-hand might be shocked by new polling research: Americans are more approving of terrorist attacks against civilians than any major Muslim country except for Nigeria.

The survey, conducted in December 2006 by the University of Maryland's prestigious Program on International Public Attitudes, shows that only 46 percent of Americans think that "bombing and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians" are "never justified," while 24 percent believe these attacks are "often or sometimes justified."

Contrast those numbers with 2006 polling results from the world's most-populous Muslim countries - Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. Terror Free Tomorrow, the organization I lead, found that 74 percent of respondents in Indonesia agreed that terrorist attacks are "never justified"; in Pakistan, that figure was 86 percent; in Bangladesh, 81 percent.

A commenter on The Tomb (my emphasis):

[T]o Americans "bombing" means "bombing from the air", not bombing with suicide belts or car bombs, and bombing from the air isn't "terrorism," it's just war (and "defensive" or "preventive" war at that). And, to be honest, who can blame them? You won't find a single corporate news source in the United States (or probably anywhere else) who has ever referred to dropping a bomb from a plane as "terrorism."

Cognitive dissonance runs deep.

Indeed, Iraqi men, women, and children are being terrorized by Americans in a massive, underreported, continuing air slaugther.
