Survey: Muslim-Americans

The Gallup survey reveals that Muslim Americans are optimistic about their future in the U.S., with a high percentage feeling they are thriving. Despite this optimism, there are mixed perceptions about their obligation to speak out against terrorism. The survey also highlights a connection between religious observance and civic engagement, with frequent worship attendees being more politically active. Muslim Americans have complex identities, balancing their faith and national identity. However, they show less confidence in institutions like the FBI and military. The survey suggests using mosques as community centers to increase civic participation.
