Survey on Muslims

[gypsysoul]

Strand, this is a topic I've researched, written about AND carried out surveys on.
It all depends on what questions are asked, what sample of people are interviewed, the method of interview etc etc.

For every survey that shows Muslims 'have a long way to go on isues of peace' there will be one that shows the opposite.

This is too huge and complex a topic to be defined by one survey!

I agree. But, that is true of any survey and PEW is a reputable source who seems to use all the controls in the questions to ensure an accurate result

Interestingly, the results of this survey were enough to get those two pundits concerned. That is kind of telling

Again, I would like to see a similar surey of all people and then broken down by religion, etc.

On edit - I re read this and thought it could come across as snippy - I did not mean it that way. My tone was conversational
