Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[ergo sum]

Support of the United States has plummeted. Polls taken in Islamic countries after 911 suggested that many or most people thought the United States was doing the right thing in its fight against terrorism; few people saw popular support for al Qaeda: half of those surveyed said that ordinary people had a favorable view of the United States. By 2003, polls showed that "the bottom had fallen out of support for America in most of the Muslim world. Negative views of the U.S. among Muslims, which had been largely limited to countries in the Middle East, have spread....Since last summer, favorable ratings for the U.S. have fallen from 61% to 15% in Indonesia and from 71% to 38% among the Muslims in Nigeria."
