Interviews were conducted with 3,306 Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Respondents were asked questions about their present religious behavior and their behavior five years previously. We found that older people were much more observant of Islamic religious rituals than younger people. Among the young, we found that there were two competing currents of change. One current was toward Islamic religious observance and the other current was toward temporalism. Less educated people were more likely to be more observant of religious rituals but to be less fundamentalist. We found that the actual size of the fundamentalists is less than some would predict. Although 52.1% of respondents prayed five times a day, a smaller percentage (19.9%) of respondents read religious publications on a daily or weekly basis
