On April 30th, the Pew Research Center reported on Muslim support throughout the Middle East for al Qaeda. Overwhelmingly, Muslims are
unsupportive of al Qaeda. The
survey covered the nations of Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Turkey, and Lebanon;
within these countries, 71%, 77%, 55%, 73%, and 98% hold unfavorable views
towards al Qaeda, respectively. The
survey also investigated the trends in confidence for Osama bin Laden. From 2003 to 2011, Muslim support of
Osama bin Laden in every single nation surveyed dropped; however, from 2010 to
2011, only one nation – Jordan – saw Muslims’ confidence of bin Laden fall (one
percentage point change).
