I'd say the verbal summation is wrong on diversity - at 45% overall roughly same for more diversity & less, i.e. a mixed bag.

A bit surprised by Nigeria's hugely pro-religion stance, but north European (w Spain) & US/Canada is unsurprising, & Poland's drifting a bit towards west Europe. i wonder if it changes if you say "more imortant role for ISIS" instead of leaving the exact religion undefined.

an aside: only 12% in Russia
