My basis for it is a survey that asked ME Muslims what they thought of Osama and his methods. 95%+ said he was a hero and 70%+ agreed with his methods. I wish I could get my hands on that article now to prove my point, but this was a couple years ago. So I can't find it now.

Interesting, but if true it would mean that 70% of ME Muslims would want to overthrow their current government and replace it with a united Islamic caliphate. If that were true, you'd figure 70% of the population would be able to do that without anyone else's help. Since they don't do that, and don't even appear to make much effort to do that, I think you are reading too much into one survey question.

If all ME Muslims were asked on Oct 1st, 2001 whether they celebrated 9/11 or not, what % do you think you answer "yes, I did"? That's the % you should really care about.
