“The Gallup Poll of the Muslim World is the most comprehensive study ever done of this group – many of the key results counter conventional wisdom”. The CSMonitor has
a brief overview of some of the study results – see also the website for the resulting Gallup Press book “Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think” (John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed) – the site also includes excerpts and summaries of the core data used.
One of the core questions posed by the study – “is Islam to blame for terrorism?” – will hopefully help educate and inform otherwise naive people who are often sucked in by hate-and-ignorance powered sites like “the religion of peace” (I’m not going to do them the favour of linking to their website – Google the name if you want to find it – but be warned, it’s ugly).
