Muslims Accepting Israel ...?

Sorry, but including Egypt and their 79M (closer to 77M) people and 26% acceptance rate of Israel biases the data. Without them, the total acceptance rate is below 10%, not enough to have any influence. 9% of urban Saudi subjects? 25% are non-rural. As for Egypt, the legacy of Anwar Sadat is like fish, it's beginning to stink as the Egyptian Muslim brotherhood continues to gain power, and after a takeover I'm sure the percentage will drop below 10% fast. Islam itself can never accept a Jewish state of Israel, it's a slap in Allah's face since he already gave the land to his true believers, so to accept Israel would be to betray him. That's why the only way to get Israel accepted by Muslims is to first get them to give up Islam.
