Endorsing the 7/7 Bombings

Dear Mr. Pipes:

Thanks for this article.

The article states: "Multiple polls confirm that about 5 percent of British Muslims endorse the 7/7 bombings, suggesting a general readiness to resort to force."

Five percent is one in twenty. This hardly represents a "general readiness to resort to force," in my view. Is this perhaps a misprint?

Sincerely yours,

Fredric Fastow
