FNC reeports today on a public opinion survey by the Pew Charitable Trust finding that 26% of American Muslims between 18 and 29 believe that suicide bombings against civilians are acceptable "in the defense of Islam."

  _Fox & Friends_ anchor (said to earn roughly $1,000,000.00 per annum): "The older you get in the poll, the less likely you are to agree with the fact that suicide bombings are OK."

  In the case of this semantic developmentr, the prosecution rests.
