The global Sukuk market, a segment of the Islamic finance industry, is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing demand for Sharia-compliant investment instruments. While precise figures for market size and CAGR are absent from the provided data, a reasonable estimation, considering the substantial growth in Islamic finance globally, would place the 2025 market size in the range of $1.5 to $2 trillion USD. This growth is fueled by several key factors. Firstly, the rising global Muslim population and its increasing wealth are significantly boosting demand for Sharia-compliant investments. Secondly, government initiatives across various countries, particularly in the Middle East and Asia, are promoting the development of Sukuk markets to diversify their funding sources and bolster economic growth. Furthermore, the growing awareness and acceptance of Islamic finance principles among institutional and retail investors worldwide are broadening the investor base for Sukuk. However, market volatility, geopolitical uncertainties, and the regulatory landscape in certain regions pose potential restraints to this growth. The market is segmented by type (e.g., sovereign, corporate, project finance) and application (e.g., infrastructure development, real estate financing). Key players include established Islamic banks and global financial institutions like those listed, actively participating in issuance and trading. The forecast period (2025-2033) projects a continued expansion of the Sukuk market, albeit potentially at a moderated CAGR compared to previous years. The Asia-Pacific region, particularly countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia, is expected to continue dominating the market due to strong government support and a large Muslim population. However, growth in other regions, like Europe and North America, will likely accelerate as awareness and acceptance of Sukuk increase. The market's future depends on sustained economic growth in key regions, further development of the regulatory framework, and continued innovation in Sukuk structuring to meet diverse investor needs. Diversification across Sukuk types and applications will also play a vital role in future expansion.

Summary: opinions across Europe and the United States on several topics of national and international interest. These topics included: the European Union (EU) and the United States as superpowers, threats facing the global community, the United Nations (UN), the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), general opinions of various countries, institutions, and people, actions taken by the George W. Bush Administration, intervention policy, Turkey´s (potential) membership in the EU, Iran´s pursuit of nuclear weapons, China´s human rights record, and political preferences and voter intentions.

Topics: Regarding the EU and the United States as superpowers, respondents were asked whether it was desirable for the EU or the United States to exert strong leadership in the world, whether the EU or the United States or neither should be superpowers, if the motive for opposing the EU becoming a superpower was increased military expenditure, whether increased military expenditure was necessary for the EU to become a superpower, whether the EU should concentrate on becoming an economic power, and if a more powerful EU should cooperate with the United States. Respondents were asked about threats facing the world such as Islamic fundamentalism, immigration, international terrorism, global warming, the spread of diseases such as AIDS, a major economic downturn, and the spread of nuclear weapons, and whether they expected to be affected by any of them in the next ten years. With respect to the United Nations, respondents were asked their overall opinion of the UN, whether they believed UN involvement legitimized the use of military force, whether the UN could help manage the world´s problems better than a single country could, and whether the UN helps to distribute the costs of international actions. Regarding the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), respondents were asked whether NATO could help share the United States military burden, whether NATO was an essential part of national security, if NATO involvement legitimized the use of military force, if NATO was dominated by the United States, and whether Europe should maintain a defensive alliance independent of the United States. Respondents were asked to give their opinions on the following countries, institutions, and population groups: the United States, Russia, Israel, the European Union, Palestinians, Italy, Turkey, China, Iran, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Spain. In regard to the Bush Administration, respondents were asked whether relations between the United States and Europe were better or worse, whether Bush´s efforts to improve relations between the United States and Europe were successful, what the future of relations between the United States and Europe would be because of Bush´s efforts, and whether or not Europe should be more independent from the United States with respect to issues of security and diplomacy. Respondents were also asked whether they approved of Bush´s handling of international policies. With respect to intervention policy, the following questions were asked: should the EU help establish democracies, should the EU be involved in monitoring elections, would the respondent be in favor of the EU supporting trade unions, human rights associations, and religious groups in an effort to promote freedom, and should the EU support political dissidents and impose political and economic sanctions in opposition to an authoritarian regime. Respondents were asked several questions regarding Turkey´s membership in the EU, including whether Turkey´s membership in the EU could help promote peace and stability in the Middle East, if Turkey´s membership in the EU would be good for the EU in economic terms, whether a predominately Muslim country belonged in the EU, if Turkey was too populous to become a member of the EU, and whether Turkey was too poor to be admitted into the EU. Respondents were also asked what they felt was the best way to put pressure on Iran in light of its attempts to acquire nuclear weapons and whether or not the EU should limit its relations with China due to China´s human rights violations. Respondents were also asked about their voting intentions for the next elections and what factors they took into consideration when deciding for which party to vote.

Demography: gender, age, level of education, occupation, household size, region, and ethnicity (United States only).

This data harmonizes waves 2, 4, and 5 from the European Social Survey, waves 5 and 6 from the World Values Survey, and wave 4 from the European Values Study. The aim of the study was to analyze gender attitudes using the statement "Men should have more right to a job than women when jobs are scarce". For information on those people who stayed in the sending countries data from WVS6 for the following countries was chosen: Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Ecuador, Estonia, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Iraq, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, the United States, Uruguay, and Zimbabwe.

I also employ data for several countries from Wave 5 for those societies that were not covered during the last wave: Bulgaria, Canada, Egypt, Finland, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Iran, Moldova, Norway, Vietnam, Serbia and Montenegro, and Zambia.

I add European societies that have not been covered by the WVS by using the European Values Study 2008: Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Slovak Republic, and Slovenia. This gives 65 sending societies in total. As people could have migrated from the European countries of the main focus, namely, Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK, I add those as well, with a final total of 73 sending countries.

Such variables as age, gender, migration status, religiosity measured by self-attribution (How religious are you?), Importance of God, and church attendance as well as denomination are added. Education is binarized for higher o higher. Employment is measured by 6 categories, marital status - by 5 categories. Those who refused to answer were coded into a separate category "refused".

Country-level variables: Human Development Index (HDI), GDP per capita, Polity IV, Freedom House Civil Liberties Index, Gender Inequality Index (by UNDP), unemployment ratio of women to men; percentage of women in the labor market, percentage of women in parliaments, percentage of Islamic population in the country, Islamic majority in the country (binary), level of religiosity in the country (country average for ``How important is God in your life?"), post-communism, Cultural zones from Inglehart's cultural map (8 groups).

In 2022, a survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found that 52 percent of Muslims of Turkish origin faced discrimination. Among all surveyed countries, Austria reported the highest rate, with 62 percent of respondents experiencing discrimination.

As of 2019, among European populist parties there is a clear right/left wing divide regarding whether supporters hold unfavorable opinions of Muslims. In the majority of cases supporters of right-wing parties were much more likely to have negative views of Muslims, such as in Germany, where 60 percent of Alternative for Germany supports had an unfavorable opinion compared to 19 percent of non-supporters. However, supporters of all the left-wing populist parties surveyed were less likely to hold unfavorable views. For example, 34 percent of Podemos supporters in Spain had an unfavorable view of Muslims, compared to 50 percent of non-supporters.
