They probably went looking for Muslims that had a thumbprint on their forehead, a long shaggy beard and bad teeth.
This is just too funny. So now you are a Statistician? Are you more qualified that the poll center to determine what a sufficient random sample size would be? Thought so.

This is an excellent example of where conservatives use facts, and liberals use emotion to try and debate issues. The polls don't go in the liberals favor, so what do they do - they attack the poll's administrators, except in this case, the PEW center is very LIBERAL.

IT IS JUST HILARIOUS how the liberals start attacking the poll - before they even realize that the service is a well known LIBERAL facility.

WHOOPSIE!

Arabistan? LOL

Too bad the Jews got short-changed on east "palestine" They could have made it into a success like Israel, instead of Jordan being a third-world craphole

You're the only one bringing the left/right paradigm into this.

The fact is, 994 people polled from 21 countries is -not-a good sampling size, therefore this poll is pretty useless.

There's no "emotion" in this statement. Just logic.

What would be the appropriate sample size, then?

The mass of Islamic orthodoxy and its scholars would disagree with you. You are not an expert on Islam, dont try to comment on it without knowledge.

Google Prof. Tariq Qadri who wrote a stinging fawta denouncing such idiocy. Also Tim Winter, Hamza Yusuf, Tariq Ramadan, Sh. Yaqoubi.

No, and no. Suicide bombing against civilians to achieve anything is unjustifiable. Sorry, but I live in a nation of laws, where we rely upon the legal system to administer justice. As for wartime, have Westerners EVER, EVER engaged in suicide bombings against civilians? Did even the jews being slaughtered in Europe retaliate against german civilians? Did US colonialists suicide bomb the British during the War of Independence? Sorry but that is a non-Western tactic that I do not accept.
