Survey: Majority of Americans say Muslims are more “Them” than “Us”
A new University of Delaware Center for Political Communication/RABA Research national poll found that nearly three-fourths (71%) of Americans surveyed view Muslims as being more “them” than “us.” Additionally, 69% of those surveyed do not believe Muslims are part of mainstream society. The findings illustrate the divide on issues related to the religion of Islam and Muslims in America today. The results underscore that there is confusion and lack of understanding when it comes to Muslims. Only 44% of those surveyed could say they personally knowsomeone who is Muslim, and 53% say they are “not familiar” with the religion of Islam.
