Even Democrats are troubled by the deafening silence from the Muslim community. Nearly two-thirds — 65% — of those surveyed say they would like to hear more public denouncing and condemning of jihadi violence from adherents of the Islamic faith, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll.
That compares with 80% of Republicans who also feel the Muslim community must break its collective silence, which would help allay concerns such reticence amounts to consent.
It's the first time Americans have been asked this question in a major scientific poll. The survey of almost 900 Americans was conducted Feb. 22 to March 1 to gauge national opinion following the White House's "Summit on Violent Extremism."Read the rest of the story HERE.
