    Remarks:

    EURISLAM Project. Multinational survey, also undertaken in Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, and The Netherlands. The Muslim sample was recruited via an onomastic method. The project also involved media content analysis and interviews with representatives of Muslim organizations, 19 of them in Britain. Telephone fieldwork appears to have taken place in 2011.
