Yes, *Muslims *are opposed to same-sex marriage.
 
Wow that is pretty surprising but is certainly encouraging too.
 
To be honest, I’m not all that surprised. People in Europe really aren’t all that much different from us Americans in many ways, even religion. This source is one of the major Italian newspapers, the Corriere della Sera (Evening Courier). I would be interested in hearing from our European forum members on this.

I’m not that surprised. If we had a different perception, it was probably because media reports mostly tried to present it that way.
 
I’d be interested to see how many had no opinion or refused to answer – 44% in support doesn’t mean the opposition holds a majority, and the article doesn’t provide a complete breakdown of responses.
