I probably wasn't clear on what I meant. I mean the majority in the specific countries where those groups exist. The majority of Palestineans support Hamas, as was seen in the democratic elections they had last year, and in the latest polls taken in Lebennon, 80+% said they support Hezbollah. Likewise, polls in Afghanistan and Pakistan still show upwards of 70% support for Osama bin Laden.
