Americans strongly believe the Taliban, the Islamic fundamentalist group in
Afghanistan who last week took credit for the murder of 130 school children,
does not truly represent its faith.
Just 16% of Likely U.S. Voters think the Taliban represents true Islamic
beliefs, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) say the group which ruled its country for six years
as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan does not represent the true beliefs of
Islam. Another 16% are undecided.
The national survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on December 17-18,
2014 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage
points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports
surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.
