    This gallup poll provides statistics on Isalmapobia in the United States. All of these statistics really show an inside look at how many Americans view Muslim people. A lot of the hate or fear surrounding Islam is due to a lack of accurate portrayal in areas such as news outlets or even film and television.

Kenya is another country that is a major source and destination and both of these countries are ranked as Tier 2.
