Multiply the percentages out and it does not paint a favourable picture of the actual interpretation of Islam, as believed by most users.
It's odd that you're downvoted. It'd appear that most of the people in those countries would agree with your statement exactly. They are devout, and that is literally what they believe.
- Cyph0n 10y agoThat's quite surprising actually. Given my own experience, I would have likely doubted these results had they not been published by Pew (or Gallup).
- azernik 10y agoIn what country do you live, and in which Muslim community do you practice? I would imagine that these views vary widely by culture, school, and region.
- Cyph0n 10y agoThe Muslim countries I've lived in are Tunisia (origin country) and the UAE.
- duncan_bayne 10y agoI was surprised, too. My gut feel is that most Muslim people I've known _would_ be surprised, because they don't espouse such beliefs themselves, and they're not common among Muslim communities in the West.
