The Vast Majority of Muslims HATE ISIS and Terrorism

The Times of India reported yesterday:

Nearly 70,000 [Muslim] clerics [from around the world] came together and passed a fatwa [i.e. Islamic legal decree] against terrorist organizations, including IS, Taliban and al-Qaida. These are “not Islamic organizations,” the clerics said to a sea of followers, adding that the members of these outfits were “not Muslims”.

Surprised?
As documented  by Metrocosm, what Americans assume about Muslim support for ISIS is very different from reality:

According to a Brookings report from last January:

• 40% of Americans believe most Muslims oppose ISIS.
• 14% think most Muslims support ISIS.
• And 44% (the plurality) of Americans believe Muslim views are evenly balanced on the issue.

Last month, the International Business Times cited a study from Pew Research Center concluding ISIS is “almost universally hated.”

What the Muslim world actually thinks of ISIS

Looking only at scientific opinion polls, the results are actually very consistent.
The figures in the map below come from surveys conducted by six different research organizations, covering a combined 20 countries in the Muslim world.
In the Muslim world, support for ISIS is low across the board.
In 15 of the 20 countries shown, support for ISIS is in the single digits. And with the exception of Syria, in no country is it greater than 15%.
