Poll: Muslims Think Poorly of Al-Qaeda
(Los Angeles Times) Emily Alpert - A new poll of Muslims in Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Turkey and Lebanon found that most thought poorly of al-Qaeda a year after Osama bin Laden's death. The Pew Research Center poll showed that al-Qaeda was most popular in Egypt, where 21% of Muslims said they had a favorable opinion. Yet 71% disliked the group. In Jordan, only 15% said they had a favorable opinion; in Pakistan, 13%; in Turkey, 6%; and in Lebanon, 2%. More than a third of Muslims polled in the Palestinian territories in 2011 said they had confidence in bin Laden.
