Interesting reading in a couple Pew Research Reports:

What Muslims think about ISIS:

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank...dain-for-isis/

This one is hopeful to some degree.

What Muslims think about Islam:

http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/t...iety-overview/

This one amply demonstrates that liberals like Noam Chomsky and Ben Affleck and 'religious scholars' like Reza Aslan are either clueless about the core beliefs of many Muslims or are being deliberately obtuse in their public statements. For example, support for Sharia law in the middle east is very high. So is the belief that Allah is the source of human morality. Homosexuality is almost universally condemned. Women's rights are a mixed, but mostly bad, bag. Suicide bombing appears to be unpopular but must be particularly popular among jihadists. Stoning for adultery is mostly very popular and death for apostates is too.
