8%, not 13% justify suicide bombing

I read the Pew report. It would be more accurate acoording to that report to say 8% "of U.S. Muslim respondents believe that 'suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets are justified in order to defend Islam from its enemies' ". It is on page 59 of the report.

I can't see where this 13% figures comes from.

Still, too many by a long shot.
