Google Poll - Samir Kuntar: Hero or Terrorist

So who is Samir Kuntar? Some think he’s a terrorist, others think he’s a hero… But there’s a very easy way to find out: let Google decide! Here’s how it works. You wanna find out if Kuntar is a hero or a terrorist. So you Google “Kuntar terrorist” and then you Google “Kuntar hero” and see which gets you more hits… It’s quite simple really and it seems to work:
On English speaking pages, 88% of pages that mention Kuntar also use the word “terrorist” whereas only 17% say Kuntar and “hero.” Of course this isn’t very reliable since a lot of pages include statements like “Kuntar is not a terrorist” or “Kuntar, the mass murderer, will receive a hero’s welcome.” But these might cancel out and the end result is still a good indicator.
One the other hand, of the 109,000 Arabic speaking web pages mentioning Kuntar, only 8% also use the Arabic word for “terrorist” and 45% use the word Batal meaning “hero.”
Conclusion: Kuntar is seen as a hero by Arabic-speaking people and as a terrorist by English-speaking people. Shocking!
