Words Are Funny Things

I'm really glad that Muslims all over the world are figuring out that mass murder isn't nice. But we just don't know about the headline "Muslim doubts on extremism":

There was near-universal antipathy in the Muslim countries toward Jews. In Lebanon, a remarkable 99 percent of Muslims and Christians said they held a very unfavorable view of Jews; in Jordan, the figure was 100 percent. Views on Christians were not as absolute, ranging from 21 percent favorable in Turkey to 91 percent favorable in Lebanon, which has a sizable Christian minority.

Apparently, rampant, vicious anti-Semitism doesn't count as "extremism".
