Fine with me. No complaints. Just incorrect to say "Among Religious
Groups, Jewish Americans Most Strongly Oppose War" when you (Gallup) do
not seem to have asked all religious groups.
True. Other groups like Sikhs, in addition to Muslims, might be more
opposed to the Iraq War than Jewish Americans.

East Indian Americans!!! That's a mouthful! ;-) Are you trying to
differentiate between Indian Americans and American Indians? Or Indian
Americans and those from the Caribbean (referred to as the West Indies)?
Both. But a good number of people from India ended up in the West
Indies, too, so my makeshift category won't hold up.
It would be interesting to ask the opinion of first-generation
immigrants from India. Do they tend to lean to left or right?
