Synopsis:
This Subscriber Report contains a compendium of the top stories written in the premium editions of the Gallup Poll Tuesday Briefing as well as Richard Burkholder's fascinating "in-the-field" commentary of the study, and many in-country photos taken during this historic survey.
From the Foreword, written by Richard Burkholder:
In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, speculation was rife as to the reaction on "the Arab street." Were the attacks broadly supported at the popular level, or were they condemned? On what basis?
Aside from those specific acts, how widespread was resentment of the United States and the West, and in what was it rooted? Did average men and women within predominantly Islamic societies feel a growing sense of empathy for Islamic fundamentalism? Or did they see it as challenging their own societies, values and well-being?
How much concern did they personally feel for an improved understanding between Islam and the West? To what degree, if any, did they feel the nations of the West shared this concern? Above all, what were their hopes -- and their fears -- for the future?
