Updated: 9:57 p.m. ET Dec. 17, 2004ITHACA, N.Y. - Nearly half of all
Americans
believe the U.S. government should restrict the civil liberties of
Muslim-Americans, according to a nationwide poll.
The survey conducted by Cornell University also found that Republicans and
people who described themselves as highly religious were more apt to support
curtailing Muslims' civil liberties than Democrats or people who are less
religious.
'Disturbing news'
Researchers also found that respondents who paid more attention to
television
news were more likely to fear terrorist attacks and support limiting the
rights
of Muslim-Americans.
"It's sad news. It's disturbing news. But it's not unpredictable," said
Mahdi
Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society. "The nation is at
war,
even if it's not a traditional war. We just have to remain vigilant and
continue to interface."
The survey found 44 percent favored at least some restrictions on the civil
liberties of Muslim Americans. Forty-eight percent said liberties should not
be
restricted in any way.
The survey showed that 27 percent of respondents supported requiring all
Muslim-Americans to register where they lived with the federal government.
Twenty-two percent favored racial profiling to identify potential terrorist
threats. And 29 percent thought undercover agents should infiltrate Muslim
civic and volunteer organizations to keep tabs on their activities and
fund-raising.
Cornell student researchers questioned 715 people in the nationwide
telephone
poll conducted this fall. The margin of error was 3.6 percentage points.
37 percent believe terrorist attack likely
James Shanahan, an associate professor of communications who helped organize
the survey, said the results indicate "the need for continued dialogue about
issues of civil liberties" in a time of war.
While researchers said they were not surprised by the overall level of
support
for curtailing civil liberties, they were startled by the correlation with
religion and exposure to television news.
"We need to explore why these two very important channels of discourse may
nurture fear rather than understanding," Shanahan said.
According to the survey, 37 percent believe a terrorist attack in the United
States is still likely within the next 12 months. In a similar poll
conducted
by Cornell in November 2002, that number stood at 90 percent.

 Nearly half of those surveyed say some rights should be restricted
Che bravi gli americani, che civili gli americani. Porci razzisti e nazisti
fino al midollo.

Loro lo pensano, ma non lo hanno ancora fatto.
Intanto nei paesi mussulmani (la stragrande maggioranza) i diritti dei 
non mussulmani sono quasi inesistenti.
Vedi Pakistan, Iran, Arabia Saudita, Sudan, etc.
E dove le leggi sono accettabili, ci pensa il vicinato a farti rigare 
diritto.
