Here's another interesting one, but from the UK:
British Muslim Poll
Very interesting poll of Muslim's in Britain.
Via Sky News
Radical clerics who preach violence are not out of touch with mainstream Muslim views, according to nearly half of British Muslims questioned in a poll.
The opinion poll for Sky News revealed that roughly the same number thought of themselves as Muslims first and British second.
Almost all - 91% - were against the bombings of July 7, but 2% agreed with what the suicide bombers did. (2% of some 3 million Moslims in Britain, that's a pretty large number)
Around 88% thought there was no justification in the Koran for the bombings, but 5% thought there was.
The interviewees were asked to respond to the statement: "Muslim clerics who preach violence against the West are out of touch with mainstream Muslim opinon."
Nearly half - 46% - disagreed or strongly disagreed, while 54% thought they were out of touch.
And 46% said they thought of themselves as Muslim first and British second, with another 42% not differentiating.
Only 12% saw themselves as British first and Muslim second
