Encouraging US Poll on Muslim Religion

In this recent ABC News/Washington Post Poll (March 2-5, 2006. N=1,000 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3), it seems Americans look favourably on Islam as being a peaceful religion or they just aren't sure.


Unfortunately, one in three still believe Islam encourages violence. It wasn't asked, but I would wonder if they would poll the same numbers if this were the question.

"Do you think mainstream Christianity encourages violence against non-Christians, or is it a peaceful religion?"
