Arab/Muslim World Attitudes Toward Islam

Note: We are presenting raw data. When available, we provide some or all of the crosstabs (i.e., breakdowns by various categories such as party ID). To analyze the data, we encourage users to read the entire study and the methodology used. Results and reliability can be affected by such things as sample size, question wording, and question order. Responses may also be influenced by context and timing; for example, if the survey is conducted during a war. The wording of questions in Arabic may not be exact.


We should listen to those among us who want to interpret Islam in a more moderate, tolerant, and modern way. [% agree] (Washington Institute, April 2023).
