Survey: Most Young Middle East Muslims Believe ISIS Perverts Islam

A majority of Muslim youths in the Middle East and North Africa regard extremist groups such as the Islamic State and Al-Qaida as a perversion of Islam and its teachings, according to a new survey.

I was actually surprised by the number who don't think it is a perversion of Islamic teachings.

So, when are they going to do something about ISIS then?

How many of the youths were Sunni or Shia? How many were Sufi?

From the survey:
"Just under 70 percent of respondents in the UAE and 50 percent in Morocco, said "corrupt, repressive, and unrepresentative governments" were the main causes of young men and women joining extremist groups."

...So does this mean that Sharia Law is the problem?
