What a surprise: 40% of 'Palestinians' still favor suicide bombings

And you thought that the 'Palestinians' had become peaceful....

A new Pew poll shows that 40% of the 'Palestinians' still support suicide bombings. But only 'sometimes.'

The survey, that polled Muslims in 21 countries worldwide, found that 40 percent of Palestinians believe that attacks against civilians in defense of Islam can be often or sometimes justified.

The support for these attacks was high in the region, 29% of Egyptians supported suicide bombings, and 15% of Jordanians. In Turkey, 15% view these attacks as a legitimate means to defending Islam against its enemies.

In Afghanistan, where suicide bombings against Western targets occur frequently, 39% believed it is a justified means of resistance.

And here's something else that ought to make the Western leftists feel all warm and cuddly....

The findings indicate that 89% of Palestinians think homosexuality is immoral, think women must always "obey" their husband and favor the imposition of Sharia Law into their society. A smaller amount (45%) believe honor killing is sometimes justifiable.

Those numbers are just the Muslims who are willing to admit it. How many more were too politically correct to say so?
