Compare that to the US average youth under 26, who seem to tend to be way more liberal.

I agree that it's disturbing. I don't doubt that part of their ability to justify their beliefs is the war in Iraq. That makes it easier to see America as evil.

On edit: I also found this fact disturbing "Only 40 percent said they believe Arab men carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."
