This may come as a surprise, especially after years of venomous racial bashing of

Muslims in the United States, after 9/11, and more recently the travel ban imposed
on some Muslim majority countries by President Trump and the rise of White
nationalism: vast majority of Americans would be willing to accept Muslims as
neighbors, says a new study. And not only that. Only slightly lower shares say they
would be willing to accept a Muslim as a family member.

A whopping 89% of Americans say they would be willing to accept Muslims as

neighbors, according to a new Pew Research Center survey, released this week, which
also surveyed 15 Western nations on the same subject. The survey found that most
people (79%) say they would be willing to accept Muslims as members of their
family.

In Western Europe �V where 15 countries were panned for the survey, most people
also say they would be willing to accept Muslim neighbors. However, Europeans are
less likely than Americans to say they would be willing to accept Muslims as family
members.This may come as a surprise, especially after years of venomous racial
