70%: Are concerned or very concerned about Islamist extremism in the world
only 61%: Are concerned or very concerned about Islamist extremism in the Egypt
54%: Believe men and women should be segregated in the workplace
82%: Believe adulterers should be stoned
84%: Believe apostates from Islam should face the death penalty
77%: Believe thieves should be flogged or have their hands cut off

U miss the point of what I said...If there were no freedom in the USA (the country U live in) you would be out throwing rocks (fighting for) for your freedom, then you would have to criticiize yourself or doing so.
Ask any American if they think that Christain ethics plays a positve role in politics. Ask Americans about the use of military power (airpower) in subduing an enemy. Ask Americans if they believe in the death penalty. As Americans if they think that criminals get off too easy. Ask if judges are too Liberal...
It is all in how you frame the question to fit the country. U might be surprised at the degree of sameness between the populaces.
