I didn’t catch Sunday’s ‘60 Minutes’ but I understand Ed Bradley cited a poll done by al-Jazeera. Most people I spoke to who saw the show say that the showed that 80% of Arabs consider the US the enemy. But one person is saying that the poll showed that 80% approved of the terrorist attacks.
I have been searching on the internet, but I can’t seem to nail down what poll was cited. Can anybody enlighten me?
Let me clarify both the question and they type of information I am looking for.
I want to know if the poll said that 80% of Arabs believe the US to be the enemy in a general sense or if it said that 80% of Arabs approve of the specific acts of terrorism of 9/11.
I would like to hear from anybody who saw the segment so they can at least tell me their recollection. Of course, if anybody can provide a link to the data, that would be great.
If you can find this it would also be useful to have something a little more meaningful in the demographics than “Arabs”. Arabs from where? The West Bank? Detroit? Saudi Arabia? Syria? Egypt?
And here is the link for 60 Minutes site if this helps find what you are looking for.
Unfortunately, I don’t have anything more specific than “a poll of Arabs” to go on. I’ve heard things second-hand. And, thanks for the link, but the 60 Minutes site doesn’t have any info.
