Just whip it out the next time anyone says that Islam is a peaceful religion blah -da -blah da- blah

Lots of lovely insight available
Which part?

On Page 29 you have this:

Quote:
Muslims around the world strongly reject violence in the name of Islam. Asked specifically about suicide bombing, clear majorities in most countries say such acts are rarely or never justified as a means of defending Islam from its enemies.
then on page 32:

Quote:
Most Muslims around the world express support for democracy, and most say it is a good thing when others are very free to practice their religion. At the same time, many Muslims want religious leaders to have at least some influence in political matters.
The poll results are pretty positive accompanying that as well. When asked if Religious freedom the median percentage of Muslims answered that it was either to 85% at the lowest to 97% at it's highest.

Even the women's right to get a divorce only drops below 50% in Africa. In Europe it's in the 80% range.

Probably the most concerning is the amount of people in South Asia who support executing those who leave Islam. However that number drops considerably when you enter Western culture. There are Christians in Africa who support execution for homosexuals so I would suggest that you need to factor in general culture rather than just religion.
