So, Which Religious Group Is Most Optimistic About the Future? The Answer May Surprise You

According to a study released on Tuesday by Gallup, Muslim Americans are more optimistic about the future than members of any other religious group in the nation. According to the report, entitled, “Muslim Americans: Faith, Freedom, and the Future,” although they have optimism about the future, Muslims also say they experience a high level of prejudice and discrimination. PBS’s Newshour has more:
Gallup reports that nearly half of those Muslim Americans surveyed claim that they have experienced racial or religious discrimination in the U.S. The data collected for the study occured over two years of polling and it was conducted by the Abu Dhabi Gallup Center. CNN has more:
“At 48%, Muslim Americans are by far the most likely of major faith groups surveyed to say they have personally experienced racial or religious discrimination in the past year,” the report said. “The next most likely are Mormon Americans, although less than one-third of U.S. Mormons say this.”
Considering the ongoing debate surrounding Islam in America — and across the globe — this claim of religious discrimination is not entirely surprising. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, debates have raged over a proposed mosque at Ground Zero and the role that Islam should play in U.S. society. As a result of numerous violent attacks undertaken by people claiming an allegiance to Islam, uncertainty and distrust have often been instilled in non-Muslims.
In addition to examining Muslims’ perceptions about the issues they face, the report also looked at other religious groups’ attitudes toward Islam. According to CNN:
Thirty-seven percent of American Protestants and 35% of Catholics said they didn’t agree that Muslims living in the United States were loyal to the country.
Nearly all Muslim Americans, 92%, said they believed that Muslims living in United States had no sympathy for al Qaeda, the terror group responsible or the 9/11 attacks.
They are, as a group, critical of counter-terrorism measures imposed since the terror attacks and a large percentage distrust the FBI, the report said.
The differences are startling. Seventy-five percent of Americans of non-Islamic faiths have confidence in the FBI, with only 60 percent of Muslims reporting that they feel the same. Much of this difference may be attributed to the ongoing debate over racial profiling.
While 81 percent of American Muslims believe that it is not possible to determine a terrorist based on “demographic traits,” only 49 percent of non-Muslims agree. With many Americans advocating for racial profiling that essentially distinguishes Arabs, it’s no surprise that Muslims have responded so strongly. Six in 10 Muslims also claim that their American peers pre-judge them based on their ethnic origins.
Interestingly, Gallup reports that Muslims are the least likely religious group to justify military attacks on civilians. On the whole, 78 percent of Muslim Americans say that these sorts of attacks are never justified. Below, see a bar graph that showcases each religion’s take on this issue:
The report does, indeed, highlight some negative perspectives coming from Muslims regarding their faith and the way in which they are viewed by others based on ethnicity. But, when it comes to the future, these Americans see positivity on the horizon.
In 2011, Muslims generally feel that they are better off and have a more hopeful future outlook. Currently, 60 percent say that they are thriving. While this proportion isn’t much different from that found among other religious groups, when it comes to optimism about their lives in the next five years, Muslims top the pack in having a favorable outlook. CNN continues:
Americans overall rate their future a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, but Muslim Americans rate theirs at 8.4, the report said.
Jewish Americans ranked as second most optimistic at 8.0, following by nonreligious, atheists and agnostic respondents at 7.9.
Muslims may be more optimistic due to the fact that they were hurt more during the recession than others, but have also experienced the greatest improvement during economic recovery. Also, the report highlights President Barack Obama’s Muslim roots as one potential factor in their optimism. Coincidentally, they also give Obama an 80 percent approval rating, which tops that of any other religious group.

Posted on August 5, 2011 at 12:15pmThink harder. Look at the chart again. The Muslim response is a clear outlier. So what’s the reason? My opinion? They aren’t answering honestly…
Then again, the choices given don’t make total sense. What is the difference between “Sometimes” and “Depends”? Couldn’t they be taken to mean the same thing? And if that was going to be your answer, isn’t the “Depends” choice a more clear response? So why did so many choose “Sometimes” instead of “Depends”?
If you ask me, the only thing that chart shows is how stupid people are. And the creator of the poll didn‘t want to truly understand what the people’s response would be. The poll split one answer into two…

Islam on the other hand-by it’s very nature- has a lot of difficulty integrating into non-Islamic societies. Look at Great Britain, Germany, France, Greece, Spain etc…all having serious domestic problems from Muslim immigrants. The spike in rapes on Scandanavian women by muslim immigrants is a notable symptom.

If they truly believe their religion is peaceful, then why are they not up in arms over the violence and hatred perpetrated every day in the name of Islam? If people were killing innocents, oppressing minorities and brutalizing women in the name of my faith, I would be outraged, but I see no such outrage from the American Muslim community. Trust must be earned. The longer the bulk of Muslims in this country remain largely silent, the more inclined the rest of us will be to believe that peaceful Islam is an aberration, not the norm.

And to leave the faith is the same fate for them. Once a Muslim always a Muslim, there is no option other than death. Once this is known it is easier to understand why we never hear any criticism of the terrorist activities. Just go figure!!

This is a true statement. Another true statement is that Christian men with the exception of a couple of diets prayed long and hard before signing their name to the Constitution and the DOI. In some cases prayer went on for over two hours in congress. And they didn’t pray to Mohammad, or Buddha, and the nothing. (that would be atheists) They prayed for guidance from the Carpenter of Nazareth. and for his hand to guide them. To disconnect Jesus from these great men is just being intellectually dishonest not only to us but to yourself. America from the landing of the mayflower is deep in the precepts of Christianity and it has and forever will be a dominating religion. The two competing religions are atheists who say the founders believed in a secular nation even though secular didn‘t really even exist at the time and Muslims will just simply kill everyone who doesn’t serve Allah
As for the statement about we not being a Christian nation We are a nation not controlled by any religion nor do we control a religion. This statement was made to Islamists in order for them to understand our differences are not based on religious wars or religious ideology. Again America was not at war with Islam but Islam was at war with America. Sound familiar folks? This is the same political ideology that were killing, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving and raping American citizens in the 1780′s as they are still doing in 2011

The first case identifies Christianity as the rule for the nation. the second case identifies it merely as the INSPIRATION.
