How anti-Muslim are Americans? Data points to extent of Islamophobia
Donald Trump’s call for a ban on Muslims might sound outrageous, but it could appeal to the 55% of Americans who voice an unfavorable opinion of Islam

Who exactly was Donald Trump appealing to when he called on Monday for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States”? Quite a few people, according to a YouGov poll conducted earlier this year which found that 55% of surveyed Americans had an “unfavorable” opinion of Islam.
Looking http://cdn.yougov.com/cumulus_uploads/document/q2ibnn2wzp/tabs_HP_islam_20150309.pdf at those respondents, Islamophobic sentiments are more common among Americans who are 45 and older, those who are Republican and those who are white.
Attitudes toward Islam and attitudes toward Muslims should be considered separately – however, studies suggests that the two overlap considerably, as many people fail to distinguish between the two.
In 2014, Pew Research Center published a large study about American attitudes towards individuals of different faiths. Over 3,000 US respondents were asked to rate members of religious groups using a “feeling thermometer” that ranged from 0 to 100: 0 indicated the coldest, most negative possible rating and 100 the warmest, most positive rating. Muslims scored just 40.
That score excludes Muslim respondents’ views about other Muslims. The only other group to fare similarly badly were atheists as rated by religious respondents – they too scored 40. There is however an important difference between those two scores: there are far more atheists in America than there are Muslims.
Since the Census Bureau is https://ask.census.gov/faq.php?id=5000&faqId=29 from asking about religious affiliation, Pew surveys are the main source on America’s religious makeup. Their 2015 data shows that 3% of Americans identify as atheist (as well as 4% who say they’re agnostic and 16% who say they’re nothing in particular). By contrast, just under 1% of Americans identify as Muslim – although estimates vary widely and are partly dependent on Muslims’ willingness to identify with the label to interviewers.
Those two percentages – the number of Americans who dislike Muslims and the number of Americans who are Muslim – suggest that Trump would not have had the same receptive audience had he singled out members of any other religious group.
So far, much of Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric has focused on security. That’s smart. When Brits were asked this year what words they think of when they hear the word Muslim, their most common responses were “terror”, “terrorism” and “terrorist”.
It’s also relevant that when individuals (again often white, often Republican) were trying to undermine Barack Obama’s credibility in 2004 and claim that he could not be trusted, they said he was a secret Muslim. What sounded like an accusation only increased in frequency once Obama became a presidential candidate. As of September this year, 29% of Americans (and 43% of Republicans) still believe that Obama is a Muslim, according to a poll by CNN and the Opinion Research Corporation.
Hostility toward Muslims in America exists alongside a lack of familiarity with Muslims. The YouGov poll that looked at unfavorable attitudes also asked respondents: “Do you personally happen to work with anyone who is Muslim?” – 74% said no. The survey also asked whether respondents “happen to have any friends who are Muslim” – 68% said no. Another 87% said they had never been inside a mosque. Across all religions, there is a correlation between the percentage of respondents who say they know members of a faith, and the percentage who say they have favorable attitudes towards members of that faith.
Muslim Americans are well aware of negative attitudes towards them. The last time Pew conducted a survey that sought out only Muslim respondents, in 2011, they found that negative experiences were commonplace: 28% said that in the past year, people had acted suspiciously of them, 22% said they had been called offensive names and 21% said they had been singled out by airport security.
Causation is harder to see than correlation, though. It’s not clear whether rhetoric like that expressed by Donald Trump fuels anti-Muslim sentiment in the US or merely taps into existing negative feelings towards Muslims. What is clear is that when Trump endorsed a database to track Muslims in the US at the end of November, his popularity jumped almost 3 percentage points.
Indeed, a YouGov survey conducted in the days after Trump’s comments found that 40% of Americans supported a national registry of Muslims. Yet again, those views were more commonly held among older respondents and those who were Republican.
Those individuals who hold unfavorable opinions of American Muslims – whether through fear, unfamiliarity or some other reason – may yet have a problem on their hands. Demographic changes mean that America is set to become a more diverse country in terms of race as well as religion. Pew estimates that by 2050, the percentage of Americans who identify as Muslim will grow from 0.9% to 2.1%, since Muslims and followers of “other religions” are the fastest-growing religious groups in the country.

Such a wonderful and peaceful religion. We really should take more of these people.

HAHAH "THESE PEOPLE" lol! They are all jihadists?
I love you CBS
English isn't his native language. How many language do you speak btw?
It isn't? Please share with us the great insight you used to make this determination. Incredible, really.
Uh-Oh! Be careful, Ahmed - Burr sounds like he's getting ready to send you a PM offering the best AAS money can buy.

The way he talks, he sounds like he was born in Africa. If you learn a language before puberty typically you won't have an accent. His voice sounds like his first language is an African language, I could be wrong. That's the extent of my deduction.
He has a lot of videos, he is actually a comedian. Has a lot of "messages" to people.

Why does it matter where Obama is born or his religion? I never understood that..

Just because a person is nuts and affiliated with a religion that doesn't mean that is representative of the religion. You can find nuts in every religion.
Listen what she says about Islam, seems to go hand in hand with y'all's idiocy.

I don't side with anybody, if you find similarities in posts and viewpoints that's fine. I don't need a circle-jerk. Do you?
LMAO, computers are hard to work with

What's your point? This woman loves her country and she's upset because she believes it's slipping away. Millions of Americans agree with her. She's not threatening anybody and she's entitled to her opinion.
I realize patriotism is difficult for a Swede like you to understand - after all, you people think giving your country away to 3rd world invaders makes you morally superior rather than the fools you really are - but there's no comparison.
Brilliant! If you hadn't pointed that out, Sworder, us mere mortals would have believed this guy was speaking the Queen's English.

My point is, a Muslim can make a radical video, a Christian can make a radical video. That doesn't mean Islam or Christianity is a radical religion or promotes the things the people say in the video.
How is her country slipping away by two people being legally married if they are the same sex? Is it by getting less taxes as previously they had to mark something besides "Married?" How dependent is the American welfare on homosexual non-marital tax money?
Everybody is entitled to their opinion, I agree. Some opinions are disgusting, unintelligent, close-minded, ignorant, twisted from reality, and makes you look like an in-bred white trash idiot.
I understand Patriotism through a Swedish and American lens as I have seen both. I am not following how Patriotism has anything to do with Gays getting married. And wouldn't it be American to embrace it considering the law was passed?
Thank you for the compliment CBS!
