69% of French Muslims (4.14 million) Back the Islamic State, Poll Finds

Muslim Statistics

French, German and British “people” participated in an EU survey and was asked of their favorable or unfavorable opinion for the Islamic State, conducted in July 2014. The question posed, was:

Q: From what you know, please, tell me if you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable opinion of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant otherwise known as ISIS?

France came out with the largest number of supporters for the Islamic State.

Only 31% of French “people” responding to the survey stated they had “very unfavorable” opinions of the Islamic State. The rest responded to various degrees of approval, meaning that they clearly approved of the Islamic State. Therefore, the headline of the actual article, “15% of French people back ISIS militants, poll finds”, published by the Russian news outlet RT is misleading.

We have included the original RT headline below, but change the percentage to reflect the results from the actual survey in our published post headline.

In Germany 54% of the “people” surveyed had very unfavorable (disapproval) opinions of the Islamic State, while 44% of British “people” surveyed had an unfavorable opinion for the Islamic State.

The Muslim population in Germany is an estimated 4,119,000 people [5%, 2010], meaning 46% or 1,895,000 support the Islamic State and terrorism while the Britain’s official Muslim population is 2,786,635 [4.4%, 2011] meaning 56% or 1,560,000 support the Islamic State and terrorism to various degrees.
