Poll: 30% sympathize with al Quaida.

. . . A recent poll Mr. [Shibley Telhami, the Anwar Sadat professor for peace and development at the University of Maryland,] conducted with Zogby International of 3,900 people in six countries - Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon - found that only 6 percent sympathized with Al Qaeda's goal of seeking an Islamic state.

. . . (On the other hand, more than 30 percent in Mr. Telhami's poll said they sympathized with Al Qaeda, because the group stood up to America.)
