Lots of people have already noted that the Pew Global Attitudes Project has published a new report on public opinion in the Islamic world. While support for Bin Laden and suicide bombing is down overall, both numbers are up in Jordan.
Interestingly, 80% of Jordanians believe democracy would work in their country. Looking at the numbers showing majority support for some rather extreme ideals and a 100% disapproval rating of Jews (and honestly, I don't know that I've ever seen a major poll with 100% support or opposition to anything), they'd sadly come to a majority consensus more easily than say... Bolivia. I don't know how the US would deal with a Jordanian government reflecting the majority public opinion. It would be the a democratic government supporting Bin Laden and justifying suicide terrorism. We'd probably just classify it as a dictatorship, wish for the return of the monarchy and move along.
The good news, however, comes in both Indonesia and Morocco. Numbers in both countries for supporting Bin Laden and supporting attacking civilians has dropped significantly. Indonesia has seen the best Western culture has to offer in our help for tsunami relief. Morocco is becoming more aware of the extremist threat in their midst and a majority of Moroccans do not want to live under a system like that. I think they are also becoming increasingly concerned with how they are being portrayed in Europe.
