"Although the opinions of the public in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom and Muslims in these countries capital cities differ most on the moral acceptability of homosexuality, abortion, pornography, and sex outside of marriage, the data show that attitudes toward these issues also vary greatly across the Western countries studied. The French public is more likely than any other population polled to view homosexuality (81%) as morally acceptable. As points of comparison, 68% of Germans, 66% of Britons, and 48% of Americans believe homosexuality is morally acceptable. In the Muslim communities polled, the acceptability of homosexuality is highest among those living in Berlin (26%) and lowest among those living in London (4%); in Paris, 18% of Muslims believe homosexual acts are morally acceptable. Religious Americans' attitudes (28%) on this issue align closest with those expressed by Muslims living in Berlin."
