Voice of America (which I used to naively believe was created to promote US values and culture), has a piece on the Pew Research survey that does not even mention those little details about conspiracy theories and support for suicide bombing.

Their article is all about the bigotry and the backlash and the Islamophobia: VOA News - Poll: US Muslims Feel Post-9/11 Backlash Despite Moderate Outlook.

U.S. Muslims say life has become more difficult for them since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, even though as a community they overwhelmingly reject Islamic extremism. VOA’s Margaret Besheer reports that a newly released survey from the Pew Research Center finds most American Muslims are well assimilated, middle class and hold moderate views.

Pew President Andrew Kohut says the survey found that most American Muslims reject Islamic extremism. “Muslims in the United States reject Islamic extremism to an even greater extent than do Muslims in Western Europe, and a much greater extent than Muslims living in the Middle East and in Asia,” he said.

But despite this rejection, more than half of the more than 1,000 American Muslims surveyed say they feel life in this country has become more difficult since the terrorists attacks of September 11, 2001. A quarter say they have been the victim of discrimination, and 54 percent feel Muslims are singled out for extra government surveillance.

Amaney Jamal of Princeton University’s Department of Politics worked on the survey. She says most respondents feel misunderstood by the rest of U.S. society. “The key issues that were cited was that there is a lack of knowledge about Islam; that stereotypes continue to affect the Muslim community, people have unfair perceptions of the Muslim community and the continuing allegations that Muslims are linked to terrorism,” she said.

Amazing. Read it all; in the whole piece there isn’t a single word about the significant support for extremism revealed by the study.
