INSIDE ISLAM UMAT [United Muslim association of Toledo] is proud to sponsor this very special event. A showing of Inside Islam A new documentary film from Unity Productions Foundation, explores the expertly gathered opinions of Muslims around the globe as revealed in the world’s first major opinion poll, conducted by Gallup, the preeminent polling organization. Gallup researchers began by asking the questions on every American’s mind. Why is there so much anti-Americanism in the Muslim world? Who are the extremists and how do Muslims feel about them? What do Muslims like and dislike about the West? What do Muslim women really want? Crucial policy decisions hang on these questions. They continue to generate passionate disagreements in the public square. Yet for all the heat and controversy, the actual views of the world’s Muslims have been conspicuously missing from this debate.  Now, we have the missing answers and statistics, gathered, parsed, and analyzed not by pundits but by professional researchers. As part of this groundbreaking six-year project, Gallup conducted tens of thousands of interviews with residents in 35 predominantly Muslim nations, as well as smaller populations in Europe and the USA. The broad extent of the polling has delivered findings for the world’s 1.4 billion Muslims with a plus or minus accuracy of 3%. When: Sunday, November 8^th, 2009 4:00 P.M. Where: University of Toledo, Law college auditorium 2801 West Bancroft, Toledo, OH 43606 Speakers will include Michael Wolfe, a poet, author, and the President and Executive Producer of Unity Productions Foundation. Jawad Rahman from UPF.
