Muslim-Americans Say Belief in God, Promoting Justice, And Protecting Environment Central to Religious Identity

According to a poll released by the Pew Research Center on Friday, most Muslim Americans believe that religious beliefs are not the only important part of Muslim 's identity. For many people, working for justice and protecting the environment is also an indispensable part of Muslim.

The majority of Muslim Americans (ie 85%) say that it is essential to believe that God means that they will become Muslims, and even 10% think it is important but not essential. These answers are about the same as those of Christian's opinion polls in the poll of 2014 who discovered that 86% of Christians believe that God's faith is essential and 10% think it is important but not necessary is. of

The survey also asked respondents as another possible element of Muslim's status. About 72% say that the love of the prophet Muhammad is essential, 59% follow the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah, 48% marry about haldood, 44% married about moderate dressing, and 41% Mentioned. More than two thirds (69%) say it is essential for justice to work and 62% say that environmental protection is also true

These issues are completely different from Christian's question in the 2014 survey, 63% say that frequent prayer is important for what Christians mean to them, 42% say that Bible and other I am reading religious materials. About participation in religious service, 52% are used to help people in need, 14% are used to buy companies paying fair wages.

In this survey, 35% of irrelevant religious respondents also revealed that environmental protection is important to the meaning of moral people.

A study line on the Muslim identity was included in a broader survey of 1,001 Muslims in the United States from January to May 2017. According to the survey, three quarters of respondents believe that there is a lot of discrimination against Muslims in the United States, 68% of Donald Trump is worried about them, half of Americans Muslims increasingly difficult It has become.

The proportion of Muslims who are dissatisfied with the country's trend has soared from 38% in 2011 to 64% in 2017. In 2011, only 4% said President Barack Obama was not friendly to Muslims, but after six years 74% of playing cards were not friendly to Muslims.

But many American Muslims say for them, for them, Muslims are not just these central faiths. For example, one out of seven said that "justice and equality for society" is an important part of their Muslim identity, 62% say "try to protect the environment." Christian identity is very important for similar questions (22%). But in other respects American Muslims seem to resemble American Christians - on average, the two groups show religious devotion of about the same level. For example, according to the 2014 religious landscape study of Pew Research Center, about two-thirds (65%) of American Muslims believe that religion is very important in their lives.

The majority of Muslim Americans (ie 85%) say that it is essential to believe that God means that they will become Muslims, and even 10% think it is important but not essential. These answers are almost the same as the responses that Christians did in the poll in 2014. By this, 86% of Christians think that it is important to the faith of God, 10% think that it is important but not important. The survey also asked respondents as another possible element of Muslim's status. About 72% say that the love of the prophet Muhammad is essential, 59% follow the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah, 48% marry about haldood, 44% married about moderate dressing, and 41% Mentioned. More than two thirds (69%) say it is essential for justice to work and 62% say that environmental protection is also true

Muslim Americans' faith against God, promoting justice and protecting the environment is the core of religious identity.
