Key findings
Half of the Austrian eligible voters state that they do not know a lot about the Islam. Older respondents and voters of the Socio-democratic and the Green Party are more likely to confess that they do know too less about Islam than respondents under 30 and voters of right wing parties. Half of the respondents assume that the Islam wants to change the Austrian society. Also half of the respondents agree that the Islam constitutes a risk for the Austrian society. 45% believe that the Islam has too much influence in Austria. This share is larger among supporters of right-wing parties. 65% of respondents believe that the way how Muslims dress and behave annoys most of the Austrians.
