Overwhelming majority of Muslims seek peace | Salam Al-Marayati
Most surveyed Muslims reject extremism due to a preference for peace and stability, reflecting widespread community opposition to violence, researchers say.
- New data shows that 96 percent of Muslims reject extremism and actively seek peace. This finding contradicts prevailing narratives that often cast suspicion on the community, demonstrating a commitment to peaceful coexistence within society.
- Ongoing conflicts in a Muslim-majority country fuel division, as political rhetoric frequently vilifies Islam. Officials often cast Muslims as disloyal or dangerous, fueling anti-Muslim prejudice and creating a climate of suspicion both abroad and at home.
- For the American Muslim community, faith serves as a foundation for civic engagement. Many emphasize that their beliefs make them better citizens, noting "it is not easy to be an American Muslim today."
- Societal division often benefits political, ideological, and economic forces. Conflict amplifies these distortions, as the resulting environment thrives on division rather than the foundational principles of justice and equality for all people.
- Reality tells a different story than the prevailing divisive rhetoric. While the country maintains deep strategic and economic ties, the nation must uphold its core principles to ensure dignity and equality for all.
