Worldwide Poll Finds Most Reject Clash of Civilizations Outlook

A violent clash between the west and the Islamic world is not inevitable.

That is the view of the majority of those surveyed by the BBC.

There search, carried out by pollsters from GlobeScan, examined the views of around28,000 people in 27 countries around the world.

Those who felt that common ground could be found between the west and the Islamicworld outnumbered those who felt that a clash was inevitable by a two-to-onemargin.

While 29 percent responded that religious and cultural differences lie at the heartof current tensions, many more, 52 percent, believe that political power andpolitical interests stand as the most important root causes.

Globe Scan president Doug Miller says, that means most people want, and would back their political leaders to find practicalsolutions, based upon the values shared by all communities.

“I think it is clear that more moderate leaders have the support, and on bothsides, [and that] likely peacemakers are going to come to the fore.”

In Lebanon, for instance, nearly four-out-of-five questioned said east-westpolitical motivations were to blame, however more than two-thirds said they believed that common ground could be found between the west and the Islamicworld.

On a worldwide basis, 51 percent of those identified as Christians said thatpolitical conflict was creating tensions, while 55 percent of Muslims felt thatway.

And as a whole, 58 percent of those questioned said intolerant minorities were toblame.
