September 11. Do you believe this to be true or not? To most of us, the very question is absurd: of course it is true! But when asked in predominantly Muslim countries, the question got a different answer. Only 20 percent of Indonesians believed that Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks, along with 11 percent of Kuwaitis and 4 percent of Pakistanis. (When asked who was responsible, respondents typically blamed the Israeli or U.S. government or “non-Muslim terrorists.”)
