    Popular views of Islam in the US and Europe often are distorted into caricatures in which Islamist beliefs determine popular actions and threaten the West. The extreme manifestations of these ideas are exploited by religious and political leaders and are rarely challenged by the media. Opinion research in the Muslim world challenges these "Clash of Civilizations" notions and provides a framework through which to understand the impacts of Muslim political opinions and Western policies and cultural influences.
