VOA: Survey: Arabs Overwhelmingly Oppose Islamic State
A new survey of more than 18,000 Arabs in 12 countries shows they overwhelmingly have negative views of Islamic State insurgents terrorizing many of their homelands.
The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha, Qatar, said it found that 80 percent of the people surveyed in face-to-face interviews throughout the Mideast expressed negative views about the Islamic State group that has proclaimed a caliphate through large swaths of Iraq and Syria. Another 9 percent said they viewed the group negatively "to some extent."
Update: Arab world has overwhelmingly negative views of Islamic State: poll (Washington Times).

But how many are willing to risk their lives fighting them to either protect minorities or reform their societies?
You saw the article about the secrecy of the UK-Saudi security pact, right?
"But how many are willing to risk their lives fighting them to either protect minorities or reform their societies?"
Exactly! Talk is cheap.
