&gt; I&#x27;d be more interested in a poll asking &quot;can violence specifically targeted against civilians be justified&quot;<p>The survey we&#x27;re discussing asked &quot;can suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets to defend Islam be justified&quot;. Note &quot;against civilian targets&quot;.<p>&gt; The same line states &quot;although 99 per cent thought the bombers were wrong to carry out the atrocity&quot;, which is a pretty important thing to omit.<p>That was from a different survey, done a year prior to the one I quoted. I don&#x27;t debate that moods shift in the muslim population, hence the link to all the surveys I&#x27;m aware of.
