from "Moderate vs. Extremist Views":
Classified as political radicals were those who met
the following criteria: 1) they felt the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were
“completely justified”, and 2) they indicate that they have an “unfavorable” or
“very unfavorable” opinion of the United States. Those who did not say the
attacks were completely justified were termed moderates. The “radical” group
represents about 7% of the total population across the 10 countries included in
the study.
So someone who considered the 9/11 attacks "largely justified" would be classified as moderate. We don't know how many, if any, would fall in such a category but it certainly brings into question the survey design.
I found it interesting that in 2005 the % having an unfavorable view of the US was:
Saudi Arabia 79%
Pakistan 65%
Iran 52%
I'm guessing the ranking would have been reversed if the leadership of each country had been polled. Should we be thankful that Saudi Arabia is not a democracy?
