Despite being told otherwise, the American people are starting to wise up with regards to the threat radical Islam poses. With the latest terror plots shown to include "homegrown" characters, we need to be ever more vigilant. They are here, hiding among us…

Editor & Publisher reports on the latest from Gallup regarding attitudes towards Moslems here in America:
NEW YORK A new Gallup poll finds that many Americans — what it calls "substantial minorities" — harbor "negative feelings or prejudices against people of the Muslim faith" in this country. Nearly one in four Americans, 22%, say they would not like to have a Muslim as a neighbor..While Americans tend to disagree with the notion that Muslims living in the United States are sympathetic to al-Qaeda, a significant 34% believe they do back al-Qaeda. And fewer than half — 49% — believe U.S. Muslims are loyal to the United States..Almost four in ten, 39%, advocate that Muslims here should carry special I.D. That same number admit that they do hold some "prejudice" against Muslims. Forty-four percent say their religious views are too "extreme."
Too many more incidences of the sort we found today, and the calls for a roundup of some sort will intensify. This poll is certainly good news about Americans’ understanding of the threat & where it comes from.
