Small Number Of Catholics Have Favorable View Of Islam

September 15, 2016 by sd

From the London Guardian:

Of the 1,027 self-identified Catholics polled, only 14% said they had favorable views of Islam and one in three said they had either very or somewhat unfavorable views.

However, those who know Muslims personally – only three out of 10 respondents, which is less than the national average – had far more positive views of Muslims.

Those who did not know a Muslim were twice as likely to have very unfavorable views.

Father Patrick Ryan of the Society of Jesus, McGinley professor of religion at Fordham University, said Catholic people’s view on Islam was unfortunately similar to the mainstream Christian American view.

They tend to be, “rather hostile to Muslims with perceptions colored by things like 9/11 and the persecution of Christians in places like Syria.”
