More than half of Americans say they have unfavorable perspectives of Islam, and six in 10 either aren't intrigued or don't know whether they need to take in more about the confidence, as per another survey.

More youthful Americans are the well on the way to have positive perspectives on Islam, be occupied with finding out about the religion and have Muslim companions.

The discoveries, nitty gritty in a HuffPost/YouGov survey on Americans' perspectives of Muslims discharged Friday as a major aspect of HuffPost Religion's week-long Muslim Life in America arrangement, demonstrate a country of cracked sentiments and encounters with regards to Islam, with stark contrasts among age bunches and political affiliations.

In general, 55 percent of Americans had either a to some degree or extremely unfavorable perspective of Islam, while one in four said they were not certain how they saw the confidence. Only 7 percent said they had an exceptionally great perspective of the religion, and 14 percent said they saw it to some degree positively.

While a dominant part had negative perspectives, few appeared to construct those judgements in light of learning or on associations with Muslims. Only 13 percent told HuffPost/YouGov that they "comprehend the Islamic religion" either to a great degree well or exceptionally well. Thirty percent said they know the confidence "decently well." Meanwhile, 16 percent of Americans said they work with Muslims and almost one in four said they have a companion who is Muslim.
