CAABU presents ‘Who Speaks for Islam?’

By collecting and analyzing public opinion data throughout the world’s Muslim populations and the West for the next decade and beyond, including people’s beliefs about education, religion, culture, and democracy, the initiative intends to inform the dialogue about Muslims and the West. 

This is based on a commitment to the principle that accurate collection and dissemination of the opinions and aspirations of persons around the globe is vital to an informed understanding of the world in which we live.
