American Muslims are just as "Islamophobic" as other religious groups - meaning, Islamophobia is essentially a myth in the US

A new poll by the (Muslim) Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) shows something unexpected: when asked about how most American Muslims act , American Jews were less likely to be critical than the Muslims themselves!

The poll asked, "Please indicate how much you agree or disagree with the following statements in regard to most Muslims living in the United States. - Most Muslims living in the United States are more prone to violence than other people." Nearly all religious groups were less likely to agree than American Muslims themselves.

17% of Muslims agree, compared to 15% of Jews, 14% of Protestants and 18% of Catholics.

On whether they agree that "Most Muslims living in the United States are less civilized than other people," 10% of Muslims agreed - more than Jewsor Protestants, and not much less than the others.

On the question of "Most Muslims living in the United States are partially responsible for acts

of violence carried out by other Muslims," again, Muslims themselves gave comparable agree answers to other religious groups.

The only question that showed sharp divergence between Muslims and others agreeing was "Most Muslims living in the United States discriminate against women." And I would argue that people agreeing with that statement are not necessarily Islamophobic to begin with, unlike the questions mentioned above which do indicate bias.

The bottom line is that Islamophobia is really not a problem in the US, if Muslims themselves are as likely to be Islamophobic as any other group. with the possible exception of white evangelicals.

Their own poll proves it.

Another interesting part of the poll was that 40% of the Muslims polled were born outside the US, and 21% were not US citizens. That is a huge percentage of Muslims in the US who are not citizens if the sampling is correct.
