Only 18% of a population is okay with someone beheading non-Muslims and you find that acceptable?
I hope you find it acceptable when the terror attacks start up in Canada and only 18% of Canadian Muslims support it.

I would find it reassuring that the vast majority don't support it. As I said before, getting 82% on any poll is outstanding.

Agreed. The validity of a poll has many variables; when it is taken, where it is taken, how serious the people who are being asked take the thing. With all of the resentment held by Israeli Arabs towards the Israel government, a poll conducted by Haifa university and asked of Arab Citizens can be expected to have a margin of cynicism.
If only 18% acted to scew the results of a poll whose motives they distrusted, that seems like a reasonable number.
I mean, its quite possible that the poll itself could be used later to tarnish the image of Arab Israelis, now isn't it?
