Doonesbury.com poll looks at Danish cartoon controversy

NEW YORK: A Doonesbury.com poll is finding, not surprisingly, that Muslims and non-Muslims have different views about the Danish cartoon controversy.

Of the 88 Muslims responding (admittedly a very small sample), 48% oppose the cartoons, 27% support them, and 23% feel the cartoons weren't strong enough.

Of the 2,878 Christians responding, 39% oppose the cartoons, 40% support them, and 19% feel the cartoons weren't strong enough.

There are also 3,848 other respondents, presumably including Jews, atheists, and others. The tally there is 35% opposing the cartoons, 46% supporting them, and 17% feeling the cartoons weren't strong enough.

The poll is still ongoing at the "Doonesbury" site.

Garry Trudeau's "Doonesbury" comic appears in more than 1,400 newspapers via Universal Press Syndicate.
