Roughly 8 in 10 people surveyed in Egypt, Indonesia, Morocco, and Pakistan agreed that the United States is trying to "weaken and divide the Islamic world." The question isn't really fair. There is no "Islamic world", there is an Islamic religion. The question should compare nations (eg, US vs. Egypt), or compare the religions ("Christian world" with the "Islamic world"), since that comparison makes more sense. The way it is phrased it seems intuitive that the US government (composed mainly of Christians and dedicated to separating religion from civil) law would be seen as opposed to Islam, where sharia law mandates religious behaviour. How could the US not be seens as trying to weaken religious/sharia law - the separation of church and state is part of our constitution.
