Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

Maybe it is, but that's not what Eppie said.

"The point that I am making is that the number of people that YOU SAW cheering at a certain event are not a good argument here."

Furthermore, your conclusion seems to be based on what you REMEMBER TO HAVE SEEN ON TV 8 years ago. Is that scientific?

Well, what I can remember (and wiki seems to agree with me) is that there were only sightings of people cheering in a few places in Palestine. Somehow, that doesn't seem like a good representation for the entire Islam world. Also, it appears to be unsure that the people seen celebrating were actually celebrating the act of terrorism.

Here is a reputable research organizations longitudinal study.<blockquote>"The polling also finds that in most majority-Muslim countries surveyed, support for suicide bombings and other acts of violence in defense of Islam has declined significantly. In Turkey, Morocco and Indonesia, 15% or fewer now say such actions are justifiable. In Pakistan, only one-in-four now take that view (25%), a sharp drop from 41% in March 2004. In Lebanon, 39% now regard acts of terrorism as often or sometimes justified, again a sharp drop from the 73% who shared that view in 2002. A notable exception to this trend is Jordan, where a majority (57%) now says suicide bombings and other violent actions are justifiable in defense of Islam.

When it comes to suicide bombings in Iraq, however, Muslims in the surveyed countries are divided. Nearly half of Muslims in Lebanon and Jordan, and 56% in Morocco, say suicide bombings against Americans and other Westerners in Iraq are justifiable. However, substantial majorities in Turkey, Pakistan and Indonesia take the opposite view.--Islamic Extremism: Common Concern for Muslim and Western Publics</blockquote>I think the global use of about 10% of Muslims supporting terror tactics is well below the threshold of error.
