I think if anything this poll shows the diversity of opinion within Islam. You can actually read the poll
HERE
but here's the quick breakdown with regard to harsh laws and death for converting:
As you can see, it changes drastically from country to country.
So, on the one hand, the title of this thread is extremely deceitful (or at least mistaken). The majority of Muslims
in some countries
support such harsh measures. However, there is only marginal support for them in other countries. Pew doesn't seem to provide an overall ratio, nor do I see how one would be terribly useful.
On the other hand, this hardly seems like a "yawn" moment. Egypt, Pakistan, and Jordan are among the key allies to the West, and yet their numbers on this topic are extremely bad. It's a boring report only if you were already familiar with the massive support for killing converts in these nations. I wasn't.
