Who Are Those People?
June 11, 2006 · Mustapha Hamoui
A lot of people in the Arab world watch Aljazeera. The online polls are hence, to an extent, reflective of the Arab point of view. But when 72% of Aljazeera’s online voters (people with internet connections, mind you), say that they received the news of Zarkawi’s death “with sadness,” it is fair to say that the Arab world has a big public opinion problem.
Translation.
Poll Question:
How did you recieve the news of Zarkawi’s death?
Poll Answers:
With joy: 14.8% (5,531 voters)
With sadness: 72.3% (27,109 voters)
With no interest: 12.9% (4,852 voters)
Total voters: 37,492
