View Islam: Muslims and Princeton University

view islam: Sixty-two per cent say Americans do not view Islam as part of the mainstream after a presidential election that saw a surge in hostility toward Muslims and immigrants, according to The Chronicle Herald. At the same time, nearly half of Muslims said they had received expressions of encouragement from non-Muslims in the past year, an increase over past polls. Nearly three-quarters of U.S. Muslims view Trump as unfriendly to them, according to a Pew Research Center report released Wednesday. And Muslims remain optimistic about their future. There's a sense among the American Muslim population that others are beginning to understand them and beginning to sympathize with them,' said Amaney Jamal, a Princeton University political scientist and adviser to Pew researchers. Seventy per cent believe hard work can bring success in America, a figure largely unchanged for a decade. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
