There are two "story titles": The one Reuters gave in the article, and the one I put up. Which title did you object to, or did you object to both of them?

When I did a search on the topic, I found that just about every headline was a bit inflamatory and distorted. By now there are probably articles that are rich on objective news/statistics and include "meaty" charts. When the news was first disclosed early yesterday morning, however, Reuters had just about the best article around.

If your objection is more to the title I put up, perhaps you can suggest a better one. I'm not adverse to asking a moderator to change my topic title if it isn't too good, and if there's a really good one out there.

Ummm....

Do YOU think 25% of the muslim population in the us support suicide attacks, or do you think that that is a bit of a biased assesment by whoever wrote the article?

Even the more moderate "Some US Muslim support for suicide attacks" is just another pot stirrer.

Geez, you know there were probably some people out there that supported the DC sniper! But no, we have to go around doing limited polls that are somehow inferred to represent the entire US population and construe from a single tag line that somehow the radical movement has solid roots in the US.

Or, more importantly (for sales, not for security) that we should be afraid and read more about the possible threat.

Rap, I am not going after you here,although your title may be better as something else, it does reflect the general feeling of the article you posted.

Don't take everythnig so personally! (if you are, that is...)
