30% of Republicans support bombing Agrabah (and only 13% are against), with as many as 41% of Trumps supporters in favour (and only 9% against). Even among Democrats, there is some support (19%), though 36% are against [with the remainder being unsure or having no opinion].

What's so special about Agrabah? Is that the Muslim Armaggedon?
I suggest we start bombing Arendelle.

It's the fictional county in which Disney's
Aladdin took place.

Asoka.

This prompts the suggestion, what about only allowing politicians and the electorate to back bombing of a country if they can actually locate it on a world map?

QuoteSupporters of most of the major GOP candidates agree with the basic premise that Islam should be legal in the United States- it's 59/21 with Cruz voters, 67/11 with Bush voters, and 77/10 with Rubio voters. Trump supporters are off on their own on that one too though- just 33% think Islam should be legal to 42% who think it should be illegal. Overall 53% of primary voters think Islam should be allowed to just 26% who don't think it should be.
So Trump voters don't support the First Amendment? :thumbsdown:

Rick Perry is already out of the race so he doesn't count . . .
QuoteOverall 53% of primary voters think Islam should be allowed to just 26% who don't think it should be.
Is that all primary voters or just Republicans?
That said, Agrabah IS ruled by an evil vizier who intends to unleash a weapon of mass destruction to fuel his ambitions of conquest and usurpation. The case for bombing is pretty decent.
26% of Primary voters want to outlaw a religion and this is considered a small amount?

I guess I expected Americans to be ignorant of geography but to know so little about Disney films is a national disgrace. Is there anything Americans DO know something about?

2nd amendment and State's rights. ;)
I don't want to Defend Republicans here, but that is kind of a chickenshit thing to put in a poll.
If you've always been for bombing any Arab place, then it makes sense to just go "yeah, sure", and just assume that Agrabah is some ISIS stronghold city whose name sounds familiar.

States don't have rights.
They do. Their own or someone else's.
We should bomb Mordor first.

No it isnt. It accurately guages how much of the population is in favor of bombing vaguely arab sounding places without as a default opinion.
It feels like a trick question. You could probably get a sizable number of people to support a ban dihydrogen monoxide.

Yeah, it seems better suited for Jimmy Kimmel than a serious poll.
The numbers wanting to ban Islam are more worrisome.
Indeed.
You banned Russia.

In Virginia, gas pumps have signs on them that say, "Virginia law bans spills". I always wondered why, while they were at it, the Virginia legislature didn't also pass laws banning stubbing your toe or falling in the shower.

Shouldn't the bombing have started by now?
Well, this survey gave a whole new meaning to the term "carpet bombing".

There is significant support for bombing Anschluss, too. Watch out.

At least he is predictable and offers stability. Not sure if replacing him with genie anarchy is better.
Also, I bet if you went to a liberal university campus and asked if Charles Manson should be let out as a victim of racist judicial system, you would get a majority support...
Speaking of worrisome polls:
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/11/20/40-of-millennials-ok-with-limiting-speech-offensive-to-minorities/
Quote40% of American Millennials say the government should be able to prevent people from saying offensive statements about minority groups, according to a new analysis of Pew Research Center survey data on free speech and media across the globe.
Banning free speech is much more worrisome than banning a religion, imho.
I don't think PewDiePie Research is a reputable source.

Europeans are much more likely to support these limitations on free speech according to that poll.
