How goes the battle for hearts and minds in the war on terrorism? A survey released yesterday by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, including polls conducted in six predominantly Muslim countries, offers some clues. (Note that all components of the survey were taken before the London bombings.)

Yes, someone posted that Pew poll a few days ago......its good news that Muslims are getting turned off by bin Laden. This article, however, does not for some reason mention that unfortunately, Muslims don't seem to be any more turned on by the US.

It isn't all good news; in Pakistan, bin Laden's popularity has actually grown; 51% of Pakistanis express "some" or "a lot of" confidence in bin Laden.

It would be interesting to learn what % of the polled group in Pakistan can read, and what % were female. I wouldn't be surprised to find relatively huge support for Bin Laden in Pakistan among illiterate men....
