‘Muslim Publics Share Concerns about Extremist Groups’
Note, this is from a restricted number of countries/communities:11‘Across 11 Muslim publics’ – Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 8,989 Muslims in Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Palestinian territories, Senegal, Tunisia and Turkey
“In many of the countries surveyed, clear majorities of Muslims oppose violence in the name of Islam.”
"In Pakistan (89%), Indonesia (81%), Nigeria (78%) and Tunisia (77%), say suicide bombings or other acts of violence that target civilians are never justified. “
”And although substantial percentages in some countries do think suicide bombing is often or sometimes justified – including a 62%-majority of Palestinian Muslims, overall support for violence in the name of Islam has declined among Muslim publics during the past decade."
So, the trend is not unlike support amongst Americans for warring abroad. Or is it?
