And of course there is this. Definitely an interesting summary:

This is taken right out of the poll you linked too...

More generally, Muslims mostly say that suicide bombings and other forms of violence against civilians in the name of Islam are rarely or never justified, ...In the United States, a 2011 survey found that 86% of Muslims say that such tactics are rarely or never justified.

Hence 14% American Muslims say suicide bombings are justified.
