In only two of the seven predominately Muslim countries surveyed by the Pew Global Attitudes Project in 2010 do small majorities express favorable opinions of the extremist group Hezbollah. Hezbollah receives its most positive ratings in Jordan, where 55% of Muslims have a favorable view; a slim majority (52%) of Lebanese Muslims also support the group, which operates politically and militarily in their country.
