Pew: Mixed Views of Hamas and Hezbollah in Largely Muslim Nations

Mixed Views of Hamas and Hezbollah in Largely Muslim Nations Little Enthusiasm for Many Muslim Leaders, Released: 02.04.10

  • “Across predominantly Muslim nations, there is little enthusiasm for the extremist Islamic organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, although there are pockets of support for both groups, especially in the Middle East. Four years after its victory in Palestinian parliamentary elections, Hamas receives relatively positive ratings in Jordan (56% favorable) and Egypt (52%). However, Palestinians are more likely to give the group a negative (52%) than a positive (44%) rating. And reservations about Hamas are particularly common in the portion of the Palestinian territories it controls – just 37% in Gaza express a favorable opinion, compared with 47% in the West Bank.”
