I am doing a project of the effects of the media on the public view of Middle Easterns as I myself am half-Iranian. However, I cannot find the percentage of Middle Easterns who actually do pose a threat to the US even though I know it is small in regards to what others think. Someone help please?
Thanks-

I do need to be relatively specific, I just don't know where I would find this information. And it's for actual Middle Eastern people who would be terrorists, not just people who dislike Bush and/or the U.S.

LOL - I don't think that can be accurately quantified - but lets say the number was only 1% of the poplation of the Middle East - in a country like Egypt with 70 million people alone - that would mean 700,000 terrorists. I would argue that there is a percentage that 1% who have potentially dangerous feelings towards the United States. When you think about it - it gets really scarry.
Good Luck!!!

I'm a Middle Eastern myself and would say that the answer is relative. If you Shahrayar are a US resident, then you probably must comply with the US's definition of terrorists, and that's a lot. Maybe around 55% of my home country population, i.e. Hizbollah. i.e. 2+ million people.
If you want to consider a more realistic definition, you would probably find that by computing the number of people who go to Iraq from middle eastern coutries to fight opposing sects and nationals and not US souldiers. You can't include those who fight US Troops as they are cathegorized as "Resistance".
So That adds up to a few thousands terrorists to a middle eastern population of 400 million. (If you considered Iran to be a middle easter country, then all Gulf coutries are surely middle eastern)
You do the math.
Good luck!

I don't think there's any way to quantify that. I do believe there's a huge gap in familiarity between American and muslim cultures. Instead of looking at incomplete data to make a conclusion, I propose you examine how people from these opposing cultures are educated. America has a drive-by media that's politically obsessed and biased. Muslim culture has state-run media and religious leadership that needs to fashion America as a "great satan" to divert public discontent away from their establishments. Both peoples are made to be ignorant of the whole picture to further certain political objectives. But make no mistake, the offenders in this case are the terrorists and the liars who spread the hate America propaganda.

There are no 'terrorists'. Al Queda was started by the CIA. Call them Al CIAda. If you watch 'Loose Change' or 9/11 Mysteries or 911 Road To Tyranny you will see that 911 was a controlled demolition and those 3 towers could not be brought down that way from fire. Its simple physics.
If you Google the phrase '1.6 billion in fake news' you will see that it is true and admitted that the government spends this much admittedly and much more through other corporations on spreading fake news and blogs. This also includes traitor losers on sites like this to spread outright lies. The problem is everyone is seeing through this now and the majority now believes 9/11 was an inside job. But it really bugs me when they try discredit true patriots like the ones who made 'Loose Change' with their BS. Screw Loose Change is one of their sites. It has a lot of hot air and debunks nothing. The laws of physics even say those 3 towers could not come down that way from fire. Watch 'Loose Change' at www.loosechange911.com to find out.
So don't focus your time on something that worthless. Focus it on 9/11 truth. Thank you for your time.

For a project I had to find out what percent of the world resents the United States, its government, and the people who support and elect it. Here is the way I went about finding out. The U.S. (300 million), Australia (20 million), Japan (127 million), Great Britian (61 million), and the favourite welfare state of Isreal (6 million) account for 514 million people or 7.8 percent of the total world population (6.6 billion) the remaining 6 billion, 86 million people or 92.2% hate the ****** guts out of the United States.

Don't waste your time ! We Americans can't even figure out the fact that Bush was not elected by majority in his first term.. How are we suppose to figure such a logical question? My guess is o.1% !..

Try searcing the FBI's website, they list information on suspected terrorists in the US. But all over the world? That would be very hard.

Depends what you mean by 'pose a threat'. There are plenty of people who dislike the United States but still aren't about to go suicide bombing or anything.

Most of them aren't really "terrorists". They're just ordinary people desperately trying to protect their land and oil from being taken by the Americans and America's Zionist puppet, Israel.
