THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

If ISIS Supporters Were A Country, How Big Would It Be? As Sean has recently reported, a poll by Pew Research shows a significant level of support for ISIS in 11 nations in the Muslim world. "[The Pew Research Poll] reveals significant levels of support for ISIS within the Muslim world," Sean said on Friday's radio program. "They went to 11 representative nation-states...and up to 14 percent of the population has a favorable view of ISIS, and upwards of 62 percent can't decide." Some on the left have questioned Sean's use of the poll, claiming that it is inaccurate to say that the it shows significant support for ISIS in the Muslim world. We thought we would go into deeper detail to quell any confusion. POLL: View Raw numbers from Pew Research Poll While Pew frames its findings as the Muslim World having "overwhelmingly negative" views of ISIS, which is true in a relative sense, these numbers represent a frightening level of positive support in an absolute sense. In the 11 nations Pew surveyed alone, the ISIS supporting population would represent 63,399,660 people. That would be a country approximately the size of England, making it the 22nd largest nation in the world. That is significant support for ISIS by any standard.

Sean asked about the 2014 study that shows 13% of Syrian migrants have a somewhat positive view of ISIS. "The anecdotal evidence is yes, those numbers seem accurate maybe even a touch low," said Horowitz. LISTEN: Filmmaker Ami Horowitz explains what he saw while embedded with refugees Horowitz recalled his experience walking through Izmir, a Turkish coastal city that has become a popular staging area for many of the refugees crossing into Europe, along with his Arabic-speaking translator. "He said 'see that guy over there? ISIS. You see that guy over there? ISIS.'" "What's he doing over there?" Horowitz asked is translator. "He's trying to recruit people," the translator answered. During his journey, Horowitz also took note of the demographics of the refugee population. "The president said that this is mostly women and children, is that true?" Sean asked. "That's a lie," Horowitz responded. "It's mostly men between 15 and 50. I would say it was 80-85 percent men."
