I find it more than interesting that the Pew Poll proves where Americans wage war people become extremist in their religious content.

Global Muslim Survey Finds Support for Sharia, but also Religious Pluralism (click here)

...Pew researcher Jim Bell acknowledged the difficulties of conducting the survey in countries where such topics may be sensitive or have what he called "socially desirable answers."

“It's possible to read into some of the findings that this is obviously a very popular answer to say that sharia should be made the official law of the country," said Bell....

...The study took 4 years and covered 39 countries and territories.

Sharia Law should govern the nation:
Afghanistan 99%
Iraq  91%
Pakistan 84%
Azerbaijan 8%

Suicide bombing is sometimes justified:
Afghanistan 39%
Egypt 29%
Palestine Terr. 40%

The study did not research Muslim opinions in Saudi Arabia, Iran (non-Arab), Syria and India because of unsettled conditions in the countries and other reasons....

What is even more interesting to me is the fact the youngest Tsarnaev brother cited the USA wars as a cause for their actions. Given the fact violence seems to push people into extremist views, the idea of propagating more wars in the name of USA national security has to be questioned to it's wisdom.
