Jakarta. The majority of Indonesians scorn the Islamic State, according to a new Pew Research Center report published on Tuesday.

The survey, which questioned 1,000 people across the archipelago, found 79 percent of respondents held unfavorable view toward IS, which declared its caliphate in June last year and has claimed responsibility for a spate of attacks around the world.

Only 4 percent stated their support for the radical Islamist movement, while the remainder declined to give their opinion.

The results were part of Pew's annual global poll conducted between April and May this year. In Indonesia, the survey has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

The report came after terror attacks in Paris last week brought renewed concerns over the growth of religious radicalism amid otherwise tolerant communities across Indonesia in the past decade.

The Foreign Ministry has estimated that between 500 and 700 Indonesians have joined IS, lured by the radical movement's goal to exert dominance over the Middle East.

The Pew survey also found that most Muslim majority countries denounce IS – except Pakistan, where only 28 percent of respondents voiced their disapproval of the group. Meanwhile, 62 percent remained indecisive.

Past studies conducted by Pew also found that Indonesians' view of suicide bombings as a justifiable method to defend Islam has declined to 9 percent in 2014, from 15 percent in 2005.

A complete analysis of the survey can be found on Pew's website.
