Trust in Islamist movements, such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood, is even lower than for religious leaders Faith in Tunisia’s Ennahda party has declined by 24% in Tunisia since 2011, by 21% in Jordan since 2012, and by 20% since 2013 in Morocco, the survey claims.

	So trust in Allah is highest, trust in Religion is 2nd, trust in religious leaders is 3rd while trust in politics is 4th. Assuming I read you correctly, I can only pray that my Christian bretheren could boast of such a righteous accounting.
