What percent of Arabs would you assume are ' Terrorists '?

Question

I just wonder how many of the people in the Middle East you think have terroristic intentions towards the US.

Answer 1

I'm sure the percentage is higher amongst our own country, we have Americans who hate Americans, gangs are terrorist,...ect....Ive been to the Mideast and I didn't receive any hostile remarks in fact I was treated very well ...as for the guy who said he had went to some pretty hostile neighbourhoods in Mideast ....well lets try some neighbourhoods in NY's 5 boroughs, um lets say some of Calis, Chicago the list goes on.... I felt more safe in the Mideast then I did living in Bronx...

The t.v only shows the bad that is why it seems like alot but it really isn't , it is just a Jewish media trying to make the Arab look bad. Do your homework and see who runs all of the main companies for security,media,financial,phone tapping in u.s,....ect... let me just say these companies headquarters are not even in the u.s ..... sorry for the extra info .....the largest spie ring ever found in u.s was all Jewish... 1% that's my answer maybe.

Answer 2

well, aljazeera, did a poll and asked a few questions...
#2 was do you support Bin Laden?

Answer 3

Arabs are a people, not a religion. There are Christian Arabs. Your question would have read better if you were to ask what percentage of Muslims do we assume are "terrorist".
I don't have the answer to either of those. Anyone who supports terrorism either by the act in itself, marching in support, or not crying out the injustice of other terrorist are too close to the terrorist in my opinion.

Answer 4

I think that while only a small percentage would be prepared to actually become terrorists, a much larger group would support the actions of terrorists.

Answer 5

It depends on your definition of terrorists?

If you are talking about blowing things up then I would say a small number. BUT... if you are talking about the muslims that require 4 witnesses to prosecute rape and put women on a level below their dogs then I would say a rather large number are terrorists.

Answer 6

All the ones that agree with the terrorists, so I would say 80%, they keep saying they don't like the American policies, well I don't like the Arab policies either, should I get some people to strap bombs on them selves and blow up Arab people and Arab interests.

Answer 7

A very high percentage intensely dislike the US and the UK, but a very low proportion are terrorists. The lowest proportion might well be in Saudi Arabia, but that's where bin laden was born...

Answer 8

around one percent - the IRA had a force of only a thousand or so in northern ireland over the 30 year conflict - that was less than a percent of the catholic population as with the protestant paramilitary terrorist groups there - less than one

Answer 9

I think that if the Arab Israeli conflict is solved fairly there would almost be no terrorists.Wherever there is injustice there will be people that you may call terrorists.Nelson Mandella,George Washington,French resistance in WW2,Joan Darc,Spartacus,George Wallace.. were all called terrorists one day.

Answer 10

I don't know about the Arab world in general, but I've heard that in Muslims the figure stands at between one and two percent.
