Related: About this forumTYT: Republicans Asked If They'd Support Bombing Agrabah, From Disney's Aladdin
Republican voters are apparently no longer content to only bomb Muslims who exist in the real world, they've turned their sights on to fictional Muslims as well according to a new Public Policy Poll.
Cenk Uygur, RJ Eskow, John Iadarola and Ben Mankiewicz of The Young Turks discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Almost one-third of Republican primary voters would support bombing the fictional kingdom of Agrabah, according to a report released by Public Policy Polling on Friday.
More than 530 Republican primary voters were polled this week on their support for Republican candidates and foreign policy issues including banning Muslims from entering the US, Japanese internment camps from the second world war and bombing Agrabah, the kingdom from Disneys animated classic, Aladdin.
In its poll, Public Policy Polling asked the 532 Republicans: Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah? While 57% of responders said they were not sure, 30% said they supported bombing it. Only 13% opposed it."

OP
I'm sure there are Arabic and Native American towns that could be inserted into that question.

If would be funnier to pick American towns that sound 'Muslim' and would fool Republicans.
Even towns in their own state, which would be even funnier.
There's a suggestion for PPP's next bit!

I guess some didn't watch the movie.
