Description
When we reflect on the present stage of Christian-Muslim relations, it seems logical to pay special attention to theological perspectives on that relationship. But we would misinterpret the present situation and fail to grasp the challenges of the future if we limited ourselves to these theological contributions and overlooked the fact that attitudes toward Muslims and views of Islam apparently are influenced much more directly by political developments and critical public events than by conciliatory declarations from Rome and Geneva. A steady stream of dialogue meetings and a wide range of easily accessible and highly informative texts about Islam seem to have at best a very limited impact on a large segment of the American population. Two national polls, taken in March and April 2006, suggest a significant rise in negative feelings about Islam. The March survey, conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News, showed since 2002 a 22 percent increase of people with an unfavorable view of Islam. The CBS News poll of April indicated an astounding 9 percentage points increase for this category since February. The figures for unfavorable and favorable were an alarming 45 percent over 19 percent. It should be noted that polls of the Pew Research Center taken between 2004 and 2007 give significantly different numbers for the percentages of favorable views of Islam, but they, too, lead to the conclusion that "public attitudes about Muslims and Islam have grown more negative in recent years": the favorable section down from 48 percent in 2004 to 43 in 2007 and the unfavorable view edging upward from 36 to 42 percent.
