Some Insight

The Pew Research Center has conducted a survey of Muslim Americans. Those interviewed seem to be fairly happy and typical of most Americans. However, the younger Muslims seem more willing to condone suicide bombings than older Muslims.

The survey compared American Muslims to those living in England, France, Germany and Spain. There was a fairly large difference in the economic status of those interviewed. In this country only 2% were considered low income; in the other countries this number varied between 18 and 23%.

How much influence does your economic status have on your views? I think a fair amount. Perhaps, that's why American Muslims seem more moderate.
