Want to know more about Muslims and Islam? We’ve got an email course for you

 

With an estimated population of 1.8 billion, Muslims are the world’s second-largest religious group, after Christians. But our surveys have found that about half of Americans – as well as most Western Europeans – say they know little or nothing about Islam.

Pew Research Center has conducted more than a decade’s worth of global research on religion, including surveys of Muslims in 39 countries and three comprehensive surveys of Muslim Americans. We now have distilled some key findings from this and other data into four email mini-lessons, to help interested people develop a better understanding of Muslims and Islam. Sign up, and you’ll receive an email every other day for about a week. At the end, there will be a quiz to help you see what you’ve learned.
