Headlines below the fold

The Good news: most American Muslims are assimilated.
The Bad news: A quarter of their kids think it's okay to bomb innocent civilians "to defend Islam".
The good news:satire site Iowahawk reports Midwest Lutherans mostly reject violence.
Kohut pointed to one of the study's key findings that only 29% of all respondents agreed that "bloody, random violence against infidels" was "always" or "frequently" justified, versus 56% who said such violence was "seldom" or "never" justified. The approval of violence rose slightly among younger Lutherans and when the hypothetical violence was targeted against Presbyterians, but still fell well short of a majority...More than 95% supported "pancake breakfasts" "popcorn fundraisers," but support dropped to less than 80% for "cow tipping" and "T-P'ing infidel houses." Support dropped even more dramatically for more violent means of conquest, such as "suicide bombing" (28%), "decapitation" (24%), and "running over Presbyterians with my Ski-Doo" (23%).

Ah yes, Lutefisk.

What is sad is that CAIR spokesman Ahmad Al-Akhras claims a poll where some 25% Americans think bombing civilian targets in a war might be justified is the same as supporting the deliberate killing of civilians who have little or nothing to do with your grievences.

And ten tons of Lutefisk for this gentleman, please.
