Poll: 10% of American Muslims think Islam should be main source of American law

A new poll by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding shows that 10% of American Muslims think their religion should be the main source of American law.

Another 27% of American Muslims believe that their religion should be a source of American law but not the only source.

Only 55% of American Muslims said their religion should not be a source of American law.

The poll's results show that at least 37% – and possibly as high as 45% – of American Muslims believe that their religion should be either the main source or a contributing source of American law.

The results are in general agreement with a poll released by the Center for Security Policy in June 2015 that showed 51% of American Muslims agreeing that "Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah."

For context, there are currently 3.3 million Muslims in the United States.  If current population trends continue, the United States could be a Muslim-majority nation by mid-century.

That’s in line with Pew Polls data from a couple years ago.

And another 75 percent are smart enough to not say so.

So 10% of 1% of the population wants to dictate American law? Kick rocks.

That piece of flotsam clearly demonstrates the inaccuracy of the current polling.

Is this article supposed to impugn Islam?...because it doesn’t. If the number were much higher, say, 50% want Sharia to be the basis of U.S. law then I’d have a problem. When you consider that less than 1% of U.S. citizens are muslims, the bigger threat is still from terrorist attacks rather than some popular transformation of the country through democratic ation.

I thought these “refugees” fled to America because they couldn’t handle living under Islam at home? This doesn’t make sense.

Make no mistake. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights is under assault by these people and their willing accomplices in the Progressive/Democrat party. They would like nothing better than to reduce the Constitution to a faded memory. Lets all cheer for Feudalism and the 7th century.

You’re probably correct. Islam is a missionary religion with a claim to exclusive theological truth. How could they not think their values should prevail? If the numbers are accurate, they’re proof that Muslims lie to pollsters. Also likely pollsters are lying to the rest of us.

And another 10% will blow up America. America may never survive unless the entire Muslim population in America is extracted from this land. They will never accept our way of life.
