I think the word "terrorist" is waaaayyyyy overused.
Seems like every nut case that blows his own crotch up on an airplane is now a "terrorist" (sort of like "weapons of mass destruction" was originally supposed to mean nuclear weapons and now just means any bomb).
Having said that...I'd bet that far more than 10% of Muslims do cheer on the guys who stand up to the U.S. (the ones we call terrorists or "insurgents", even though those "insurgents" are fighting against us in their own country lol)
It's only human nature. You root for the home team. Doesn't mean that they are all "terrorists" or going to suddenly start fighting the U.S. army or setting their shoes on fire on an airplane.
But I do think most Muslims sympathize with the crazy ones that do shit. Just like we in the Western world tend to sympathize with our "side"
