| Abstract | The Arab World is a region that has been vastly misunderstood in the West. This work asks the questions, collects the answers, and shares the results that will help us see Arabs clearly. The co-founder of the renowned polling firm Zogby International draws from 40 years of the most extensive polls from the Arab World to lift the fog that has obscured this culture for centuries. The author debuts a brand new, comprehensive poll, bringing numbers to life so that we can base policy and perception on the real world, rather than on a conjured reality. |
