Do Blaze readers think the Al Qaeda threat is real? (Take our poll.)

The U.S. State Department has issued a serious warning for all Americans traveling in the Middle East, we closed our embassies in 19 cities in the region through the end of the week (at least), and reports out of D.C. say that we're facing a significant assault that would rival the 9/11 terror attacks.

You might think that with all of these big stories about a potential terror attack on the USA, TheBlaze audience would be digging deep into these stories. If that's what you're thinking, you'd be wrong.

Based on actual readership, here is a countdown of the Top 5 stories that Blaze Readers find more interesting than the Al Qaeda threat:
