Only in the sense that they watch the TV coverage of such.
You can't even assume that the watch the TV coverage. In the
same way that people tune out the advertising, they also may tune
out the reporting on issues. They may even be changing the
channel. Political issues rarely make good video footage and
there may be naked people or folks getting hit in the crotch on
the other channels.
The link below seems to work if you copy and past it. They found
the people in it on the street.

Well if you interview enough individuals you can easily make such
a composition. But what was the goal of making such a clip? I
will make you a deal, let me interview the interviewer and all of
the production personnel with the same questions. Let's see how
well they do.
One of them was right on though when she said that Saudi Arabia was
the home of Al Qaeda.
That's something that most Americans and apparently most Aussies
don't know.
Remember that 17 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi.
ALso, the reactionary segment of Islam (Wahhabism) that teaches
violence
against "unbeelivers" (who can even be Muslims, since the Wahhabists
see
themselves as having some ultimate authority to efine what does or
doesn't constiture "true belief/true believer"), and formed the
foundation of Al Qaeda's doctrine, is still active in Saudi Arabia,
and
continues to fund the construction of, and 'encourages' parents to
send
their children to, madrassas teaching that doctrine.
I don't know who funds this site, so I'm not "endorsing" the funders,
but
ti does summarize what I've read and heard over the years:
http://www.crf-usa.org/terror/islamist_terror.htm
HTH
Indeed, Wahhabism is one of the more extreme sects of Islam. It makes
the division between Sunni and Shi'a look ridiculous.
And who was that fellow from I think it was Egypt, Qutb. He did an
internship in the U.S. and was disgusted by the things he saw around
him. Imagine if you transported Qutb to 2000 or so. His head would
have exploded.
But he's the one who started the Muslim Brotherhood which is partially
responsible for the Al Qaeda doctrine too.
Yup.
But, you know what, there are a lot of things I see in America today
(that I didn't see 30 or even 20 yrs ago) which *I* don't like. DOesnt'
mean I'm going to go do all that crazy violent stuff. I still believe
that rational discussion, comprimise, and the Constitution, will win the
day.
