FREE RELIGION FOR ME BUT NOT FOR THEE? Morocco, Egypt, Pakistan, and Indonesia were surveyed:
An in-depth poll of four major Muslim countries has found that in all of them large majorities believe that undermining Islam is a key goal of US foreign policy. Most want US military forces out of the Middle East and many approve of attacks on US troops there.
One positive point may be their regard for Democracy, independent of the Western values that come along with it:
While wary of Western values, overall 67 percent agree that “a democratic political system” is a good way to govern their country and 82 percent agree that in their country “people of any religion should be free to worship according to their own beliefs.”
Mmmmm. I bet including Saudia Arabia would have skewered the results.
