Muslims at the Crossroads
Returning for its second year, ISPU’s American Muslim Poll surveys Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, and those that consider themselves non-affiliated to compare attitudes, policy preferences, and demographics across religious groups. From early on in a deeply divisive presidential election cycle until today, American Muslims have been at the center of heated social and political debates. One byproduct of this increased salience is an uptick in negatively charged rhetoric and discriminatory acts. There has also been an outpouring of support and solidarity aimed not just at Muslims already in the United States, but also toward those who yearn to make America their home. Common across all of these discourses, actions, and reactions, however, is the frequent relegation of Muslims to subjects of consideration. Rarely are Muslims active participants in political dialogue, and even rarer are their attitudes and behaviors systematically examined. American Muslim Poll 2017: Muslims at the Crossroads helps narrow this wide knowledge gap.
Among other topics, this survey examines American Muslim political engagement, race relations, domestic violence, bullying, discrimination, and positive and negative fallout from the 2016 election. This analysis of the 2017 poll data is designed to help public officials, civil society stakeholders, and other interested parties gain a multi-dimensional understanding of the American Muslim community.
