PUBLIC OPINION AND SURVEYS
New Poll of Pakistan before June 2008 By-Elections Pakistanis strongly favor their own government not fighting against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, but negotiating with them instead. Public support for Al Qaeda is also gaining ground since earlier this year. Important Parliamentary by-elections are scheduled in Pakistan for June 26th. In the only poll before the elections, our survey shows that Nawaz Sharif is now the most popular political leader in Pakistan. Mr. Sharif’s party, the PML-N, would emerge as the clear winner in any national contest, far eclipsing the current largest party in Parliament, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

Iran: New 2008 Survey before Elections In a new public opinion poll across Iran before the upcoming March 14th national elections, Iranians do not strongly support the ballot choices offered to them. Iranians also continue to overwhelmingly favor better relations with the United States, a full democracy for Iran, and concessions on the nuclear issue.For TFT’s full survey report, click here.

Yet, Bin Laden’s fellow countrymen have dramatically turned against him, his organization of Al Qaeda, Saudi fighters in Iraq, and terrorism itself. And they have also equally dramatically turned in favor of Bin Laden’s chief enemy: The United States of America. The people of Saudi Arabia are now among the most pro-American and anti-terrorist of any in the entire Muslim world. For TFT’s full survey report, click here.

Nearly three quarters of Pakistanis oppose American military action to pursue Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters based inside Pakistan. Moreover, a third or more of Pakistanis have a favorable view of Al Qaeda, the Taliban and bin Laden. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is also the least popular political leader in Pakistan today—falling considerably behind bin Laden. For a video of the CNN story, please click here.

Syria: Pioneering New Poll Despite powerful anti-American feelings and support for Iraqi fighters, 63% of Syrians still favor Syria working with the United States to help resolve the Iraq war. In another important finding, Syrians also favor peace with Israel. Yet, in marked contrast to Terror Free Tomorrow’s recent survey of Iran, which had similar methodology, questions and timing, Syrians—unlike Iranians—oppose closer relations with the United States, while expressing satisfaction with their current system of government. For a Wall Street Journal commentary on the poll, click here, for other press coverage, click here, for the full survey report, click here.Iran: Unprecedented Nationwide Survey Discontent with the current system of government, the state of Iran’s economy, and isolation from the West is widespread throughout Iran. In this context, nuclear weapons are the lowest priority for the Iranian people. Iranians even overwhelmingly support their government providing full inspections and a guarantee not to develop nuclear weapons in return for trade and assistance from other countries. The popular will to live in a democracy open to the West and the United States, with greater economic opportunity, comes from every region and segment of Iranian society. These are among the significant findings of the first nationwide public opinion survey of Iran on these issues since President Ahmadinejad took office.

New Public Opinion Survey of Turkey Terror Free Tomorrow’s latest Turkish survey is the first on an issue of vital importance to both Turkey and the United States. The U.S. Congress is considering a resolution formally recognizing as organized genocide the mass killings of Armenians from 1915-23 in Turkey’s predecessor state of the Ottoman Empire. Our unprecedented survey shows that the resolution would actually set back the cause it purports to achieve: namely, Turkey’s recognition of its own past and reconciliation with Armenia today. The survey was conducted in collaboration with the ARI Movement of Turkey and its affiliate in the United States, the ARI Foundation. For the full joint poll report, click here.

New Nationwide Public Opinion Survey of Nigeria Lee Hamilton, Co-Chair of the 9/11 Commission and the Iraq Study Group commented on Terror Free Tomorrow’s latest survey: "Terror Free Tomorrow's new survey of Nigerian opinion reinforces a lesson that America has learned in places as diverse as Pakistan and Indonesia: in the struggle against extremism, the effective and targeted use of U.S. assistance can be as effective - if not more effective - than the deployment of bombs and guns. To win the war of ideas and to combat the swelling turmoil around the world, the United States must use all aspects of American power - including the power of American generosity."

Unprecedented Polls: World’s Largest Muslim Countries Welcome U.S. Navy In unprecedented public opinion surveys by Terror Free Tomorrow, Indonesians and Bangladeshis overwhelmingly welcomed the U.S. Navy’s recent humanitarian mission of the Navy hospital ship Mercy. Terror Free Tomorrow’s path breaking surveys prove that humanitarian aid by the Navy succeeds in changing the opinion of the United States in the most populous Muslim countries of the world. For the full results, analysis and methodology, click here. New Polls: American Aid Key to Favorable Muslim Public Opinion While people from Indonesia, Bangladesh and Pakistan—the world’s three largest Muslim countries—increasingly oppose US-led efforts to fight terrorism, most are favorable to the United States for past aid and want deeper American assistance in the future. In fact, American assistance results in a substantial favorable change in opinion toward the United States. For a full poll report, click here. Polls in Muslim World: Humanitarian Leadership by US Remains Positive Despite historically high levels of anti-Americanism, positive American leadership, particularly humanitarian assistance, results in a more favorable view of the United States. Iran’s Turkish, Saudi and Pakistani neighbors also want the United States to accept a nuclear-armed Iran, rather than take military action to prevent it, while two-thirds of those surveyed in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey believe that the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad reflect Western antagonism against Islam itself. For the full details on the poll, click here. 2006 Poll: Humanitarian Relief Sustains Change in Muslim Public Opinion A new poll by Terror Free Tomorrow demonstrates that a year after the tsunami in Indonesia, the dramatic increase in Indonesian support for the United States and against Bin Laden has continued. American humanitarian aid to tsunami victims last year caused an overwhelming change of opinion in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim country. The new nationwide poll throughout Indonesia reveals that this dramatic shift has not only been sustained, but has strengthened because of American humanitarian relief. For the full details on the poll, click here.
Poll: Dramatic Change of Public Opinion in the Muslim World In the first poll in Pakistan since the earthquake of October 8, 2005, Pakistanis now hold a more favorable opinion of the United States than at any time since 9/11, while support for Al Qaeda in its home base has dropped to its lowest level since then. The direct cause for this dramatic shift in Muslim opinion is clear: American humanitarian assistance for Pakistani earthquake victims. For the full details on the poll, click here. Poll: Americans Want Increased Aid to Pakistani Earthquake Victims In the first nationwide poll since the Pakistani earthquake, a majority of the American public supports increased assistance to the victims of the earthquake in Pakistan on October 8th.

A Major Change of Public Opinion in the Muslim World: Results from a New Poll of Indonesians In the first substantial shift of public opinion in the Muslim world since the beginning of the United States’ global war on terrorism, more people in the world’s largest Muslim country now favor American efforts against terrorism than oppose them.

OUR IMPACT
IN PAKISTAN, Terror Free Tomorrow’s nationwide survey before the February 18, 2008 elections is front page news and the subject of editorials in every major newspaper. Denounced by government spokesmen and official state television, even President Musharraf responded by claiming that TFT and other polling “have value in developed nations but not here in Pakistan.” A feature article from one of Pakistan’s leading newspapers (Daily News) found that the Pakistani government had a plan to rig the Feb.18th vote, but that TFT’s public opinion poll helped to “definitely prevent the government from massive rigging.” According to the article, a senior government official with ties to Pakistani intelligence confirmed that “a plan to rig the elections was in the works,” but that the polling “created an atmosphere where there was no choice but to have free and fair elections.” The article also quotes one of the highest officials in President Musharraf’s own political party, who admitted that the polling “deter[ed] any state-sponsored manipulation.”
IN SAUDI ARABIA, Terror Free Tomorrow’s unprecedented survey is hailed by the major reform-minded Arabic press as “a survey of profound importance” (Al-Watan; Asharq Al-Awsat), extensively reported in front page coverage throughout Saudi and Arabic media. According to Al-Watan, the leading reform newspaper in Saudi Arabia, our survey is: “a rare and remarkable in-depth study of Saudi society” that can help “bear witness to a new consciousness in the Arab and Muslim world.” For the U.S., the poll is relied on in commentary from the Christian Science Monitor to the San Francisco Chronicle, with news coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, AP, Reuters, CNN and more.
IN IRAN, TFT’s surveys are the first uncensored polls of the Iranian people in five years, headlined by the leading student organization in Iran, throughout Iranian blogs and by the leaders of the pro-democracy movement. Called “an act of bravery by ordinary citizens,” our surveys “after so many years of isolation, and despite the risk,” are at last giving the Iranian people themselves a voice (International Herald Tribune). For the American and international policy debate, our surveys have been featured in a lead news story by the Washington Post and in editorials in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Economist, Guardian, Washington Times, New York Post, etc. One editorial concludes that TFT findings provide “the most complete and nuanced understanding of one of the most important foreign-policy challenges we face in the 21st century.”
IN PAKISTAN, TFT’s nationwide August 2007 survey is the “oft-quoted standard” for the democracy debate inside Pakistan (The Pakistan News). In the American foreign policy debate, the survey is relied on in editorials from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times, with front page coverage in the New York Times and Washington Post, and a feature story on CNN.
IN INDONESIA and BANGLADESH, Admiral Mullen, Chair of the Joint Chiefs, states that TFT surveys are a “critical factor” in launching the U.S. Navy’s humanitarian medical missions. Our surveys showed that the Navy’s hospital ship, treating 61,000 needy patients, changed public opinion favorably toward the United States and against terrorism—resulting, according to Admiral Mullen, in even more medical missions by the Navy. Admiral Mullen has written that TFT’s findings provide proof to “one of the defining moments of this new century.”
IN PAKISTAN, our nationwide survey—the first after the October 2005 earthquake—serves as a principal finding by the U.S. Senate for the United States to gain vital goodwill against extremism by “taking the lead” in relief efforts to Pakistani earthquake victims (Senate Resolution #356).
IN INDONESIA, former Presidents Clinton and Bush rely on our survey—the first after the tsunami—as proof of the power of continued humanitarian aid to counter extremism in the world’s largest Muslim country.
IN the U.S.CONGRESS and GOVERNMENT, TFT surveys are the subject of hearings before the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees, the National Security Subcommittee, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and a key finding behind new legislation introduced by Senators Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Norm Coleman (R-MN). TFT’s work has also been relied on by the State Department as an independent benchmark in evaluating the success of American foreign policy (State Dept Performance and Accountability Report), and by the Department of Defense in the National Military Strategic Plan for the War on Terrorism
OUR MISSION
Terror Free Tomorrow finds out why people support or oppose extremism. By determining the facts first, we help create effective policies to counter extremism worldwide.
Our Vision: Throughout the world, public opinion strengthens or weakens terrorists and extremists. Our vision is that by finding people’s own priorities, we can empower public opinion against authoritarian dictatorships and terrorist minorities alike.

India threats under terror
Being an indian this is our prime duty to save our country from terror.These days the terrorism is expanding like an paracites.It's a very dangerous disease.We being an indian take some serious action to cure or prevent this disease.As we look into our political system which is not very strong enough to save our lives.As we talk about personal security how safe are we today.Although we are living in a democratic nation but being an individual we don't have any right to take any action. Recently i come accross one movie called A Wednesday,where it shows how a comman man took action to finish terrorism.So if we can take a serious action towards terror being an individual that will save out nation not only that it will save our life too.
