Some depressing statistics

According to a new TIME poll, 24% of the American people think that President Obama is a Muslim.

28% believe that Muslims should be barred from sitting on the Supreme Court.

61% oppose the building of the Cordoba Center, a Muslim community center, two quarter mile-long blocks from Ground Zero (as if all Muslims ot Islam per se were responsible for 9/11).

On the other hand, there is some news which indicates that anti-Muslim bigotry may not as extensive as it might otherwise seem. For one thing, 55% say that most American Muslims are patriotic, and another 55% would not object to a mosque being built within two blocks of their own home.

At the same time, though, it's depressing that in each case a sizable 45% said otherwise.
