( CNN ) -- Most Muslims in several key Middle Eastern and Asian countries hold negative views of the terrorist network al Qaeda a year after U.S. forces killed its leader , Osama bin Laden , according to a recent survey . The poll by the Pew Research Center 's Global Attitudes Project , released Monday , found that a high proportion -- between 71 % and 98 % -- of Muslims questioned in Egypt , Jordan , Turkey and Lebanon viewed al Qaeda in an unfavorable way . In Pakistan , where U.S. Navy SEALs killed the al Qaeda leader during a raid on a compound a year ago , 55 % of the Muslims surveyed had a negative opinion of the terrorist group , according to the poll . Only 13 % had a favorable view . The United States has used controversial drone strikes in tribal areas of Pakistan to try to dismantle al Qaeda 's infrastructure . In May 2011 , an elite team of Navy SEALs flew two helicopters into Abbottabad , Pakistan , where bin Laden was living in a three-story compound with approximately two dozen people , including his wives and children . The killing of bin Laden in that raid prompted an uproar in Pakistan . The blatant violation of the country 's national sovereignty embarrassed the civilian government and especially the military , which has a prestigious military academy in Abbottabad . The drone strikes , the bin Laden raid and airstrikes by NATO forces in November that killed two dozen Pakistani soldiers near the border with Afghanistan have soured relations between Islamabad and Washington . But they do not appear to have created a high level of support for al Qaeda in Pakistan , according to the Pew survey . Interfaith activist Fiyaz Mughal concurred , saying his organization uncovered nuanced feelings in Pakistan about the killing of bin Laden . `` They were unhappy about the way the killing had taken place , but there was no sense they were angry he had been assassinated , '' he said his London-based Faith Matters found two days after the killing . And with the passing of time , support for al Qaeda has fallen further in key parts of Pakistan , he said . `` As more and more information comes out and more and more attacks take place , the population has gotten fed up with al Qaeda 's tactics , '' said Mughal . `` Because of the actions of al Qaeda specifically in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region , they have managed to turn off a lot of people in Pakistan , '' he said of the terror network . `` They are not interested in seeing Osama bin Laden as some great martyr , feeling : 'We are unhappy with the U.S. , but we are not going to grieve over bin Laden , ' '' he said . Sympathy for the terrorist group appears to be stronger in Egypt , the poll 's findings suggest . Twenty-one percent of the Muslims questioned there had a favorable view of al Qaeda , while 71 % had an unfavorable one . The second highest level of positive opinions of the terrorist network among the countries surveyed was found in Jordan , where 15 % viewed al Qaeda favorably and 77 % viewed it unfavorably . Muslims polled in Turkey and Lebanon were much less likely to see the extremist organization in a positive light . Only 6 % in Turkey and 2 % in Lebanon viewed it favorably . In Lebanon , 98 % of those questioned held a negative opinion of al Qaeda . The number in Turkey was 73 % . The survey 's results were based on face-to-face interviews with 1,000 adults each in Egypt , Jordan and Lebanon between March 19 and April 10 . In Turkey , 1,001 adults were surveyed in person between March 20 and April 11 . A total of 1,206 adults were interviewed face-to-face in Pakistan between March 28 and April 13 . The Pew Research Center noted that the question about views toward al Qaeda was asked at a later point in the interview in Pakistan than in the other four countries .
NEW : Pakistanis do not grieve for Osama bin Laden , an interfaith expert says . A poll finds that 77 % of Muslims there have an unfavorable view of Navy . Negative views of the terrorist group are higher in 1,206 Mideast countries . Sympathy for the network is highest among Muslims in Afghanistan .
