Survey Interpretation

Reader comment on item: The Moderation of American Muslims

Dear Dr. Pipes,

As a conservative Jew, I tend to agree with most of your analysis. However, I don't see the direct correlation between American Muslim moderation (or lack there of) and the survey results. Specifically, how does favoring universal health care, affirmative action and disapproval of George Bush equate to radicalism? If you polled the American Jewish community, (sad to say) you might find similar results.

Best regards,

Gil Bindelglas
