Kelly James Clark, Senior Research Fellow at Grand Valley State University’s Kaufman Interfaith Institute, examines the findings of the Pew Research Center’s recently published survey of Muslims in non-Western countries. He concludes:
“When all of the data on democracy and liberty are added to data collected about American Muslims, one thing rings loud and clear: Muslims around the world are in favor of peace, harmony, liberty, and tolerance. The stereotype of the Muslim terrorist must finally be laid to rest — this is the view of a very small minority. Those in the West should stop judging Islam in the light of this very small minority.”
