A recent poll by DailyMail.com revealed that about one in five young Americans have a positive view of Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks.
The survey also found that a significant portion of Gen Z voters believe his views were a “force for good.”
This trend has raised concerns among family members of 9/11 victims, who fear a growing sympathy towards terrorists in the younger generation. (Trending: Joe Biden Emailed Hunter’s Business Associates 54 Times)
The results also indicate a shift in attitudes, with examples of younger Americans questioning Bin Laden’s actions and justifying his motives.
Critics attribute this to a lack of comprehensive education about the events of 9/11 and the involvement of parties like Saudi Arabia.
“It is hard to avoid the conclusion that there is a cancer in the American body politic: a small but sizeable group of its youngest voters,” James Johnson, founder of J.L. Partners, said.
“Polling has found that 18-29-year-olds are most likely to deny the Holocaust and, in our October Daily Mail poll we found that Gen Z Americans are more likely to sympathize with Hamas.”
“And now we have this on Osama Bin Laden, the man behind the biggest attack on American soil in its history,” he continued. “A few weeks ago his writings went viral, with young Americans praising the Islamist leader. Some wrote that off as a few shrill voices on social media, others suggested it was fake.”
“This poll shows that was no fad, but a reflection of real opinion amongst one in five 18-29-year-olds.”
The poll has sparked worries about the normalization of terrorism among the youth, with calls for greater transparency and accountability regarding the attacks.
