IPS ipsnews.net: " While 10 years after the 9/11 Al- Qaeda attacks, most U.S. citizens say they respect diversity and the freedom of religion, they don't always apply those principles to Islam and immigrants, according to a survey released here Tuesday by two major think tanks.
The survey, entitled "What It Means to be American: Attitudes in an Increasingly Diverse America Ten Years after 9/11", found that viewers of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News were significantly less tolerant and more distrustful of Muslims than the general public. It also found that self-described sympathisers of the mainly Republican "Tea Party" were significantly more hostile to immigrants and their children, as well as any effort to legalise their status in the United States.

And sometimes I simply muse.
