Plus 82% support stoning adulterers and 54% say suicide bombings can be justified. Oh yeah, this is going to end well. (Washington Examiner) – Last year the Pew Research Center Global Attitudes Project conducted a survey of opinion in several Muslim countries. The subject was the proper role of Islam in politics and society. One of the countries surveyed was Egypt, and among other discoveries, the Pew researchers found that 84 percent of Egyptians favor the death penalty for people who leave the Muslim religion. In another survey, Pew found that 90 percent of Egyptians say they believe in freedom of religion. Pew also found that a majority of Egyptians think democracy, with protections of free speech and assembly, is “preferable to any other kind of government.” How can those attitudes fit together in a democratic post-Mubarak Egypt? It’s no wonder so many people can’t figure out what is next. The Pew survey found wide streams of opinion in Egypt that seem at the very least inhospitable to democracy. When asked which side they would take in a struggle between “groups who want to modernize the country [and] Islamic fundamentalists,” 59 percent of Egyptians picked the fundamentalists, while 27 percent picked the modernizers. In a country in which the army will likely play a deciding role in selecting the next political leadership, just 32 percent believe in civilian control of the military. And a majority, 54 percent, support making segregation of men and women in the workplace the law throughout Egypt. There’s more. When asked whether suicide bombing can ever be justified, 54 percent said yes (although most believe such occasions are “rare.”) Eighty-two percent supported stoning for those who commit adultery.

Where in the world would James Jay Lee , the Global Warmabomber , have gotten the radical idea that the number of humans must be reduced, if not eradicated, to accomplish environmental goals? Richard Morrison provides some answers at the main site today. Here are some other deep-pocketed promoters who link population control (aka abortion or “reproductive” rights) and saving the environment (aka “sustainability”): The United Nations United Nations Foundation ( population , environment ) George Soros ( population , environment ) Center for American Progress ( population , environment ) Ford Foundation ( population , environment ) Tides Foundation ( population , environment ) The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation ( population , environment ) The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ( population , environment ) The David and Lucile Packard Foundation ( population , environment ) The (Ted) Turner Foundation The George Gund Foundation ( population , environment ) Compton Foundation ( population , environment ) WestWind Foundation ( population , environment ) The Overbrook Foundation ( population , environment ) The Summit Foundation ( population , environment ) The Educational Foundation of America Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund Weeden Foundation That’s billions of dollars to spread the humans-are-pollution message around, and only the few found with a couple of basic Google searches. Feel free to add your discoveries in the comments (I’m sure I’m missing obvious ones). And then there are the talk radio hatemongers on the Left and the alarmists who wish harm or death on global warming realists …
