Poll: 10% of American Muslims think Islam should be main source of American law
American Thinker ^ | 03/24/2016 | Sierra Rayne

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.

Make Mosques illegal under the Patriot Act. That’s where the “activation” to terrorist begins.

Put a moratorium in place for ALL immigration for the next 10 years, including H1b.

Offer free transportation back to countries of origin.

If the number were much higher, say, 50%...

90% are lying.

See also al taqiyya.

It is 3.3 percent of the population, not 1 percent.

And, the percentage of muslims in the population is growing very fast due to immigration and their penchant for large families.

Thank Clinton, the Bushes, and Obama for the importation of vast numbers of Muslim “refugees”.

Oops. 3.3 million, not 3.3 percent.

1 percent is the correct figure.

America may never survive unless the entire Muslim population in America on earth is extracted from this land planet.

There.

Fixed.

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.

Let's assume, for the sake of the argument, that this is an accurate poll. Let's also imagine, for the sake of the argument, a similar poll taken of people who profess to be Christians in the US--and if you are wondering where I stand on that, see the tagline below.

I would expect a similar %age of professing Christians stating similar positions respective to Christian teaching: perhaps 10% would say the Bible trumps the Constitution, another 30-35% or so would say that the Bible should be a source for our laws, and the remaining 55%, which would include "separation of church and state" people and most religiously-liberal denominations, would say the Bible should not be a source for our laws.

In the end, this poll doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know--including that the Bible happens to have been one of the sources of American law from the beginning, and the Quran, Hadith, and sharia were not, for which we can thank the Triune God.

Start deportation with that 10%. Who wants to go next?

I think something a little more drastic will be required for that 10%.....

The remaining 90% agree with the 10%, they just won’t say so.

1st of a 10 part video series on understanding things like the Muslim Brotherhood, and it’s subsiderary CAIR, as well as jihadis general along with what so-caller “moderates” may believe ... through the window of Islamic Law and what they themselves consider authoratative.

This is very alarming. This means that since there are about 3 million of these people there about 300,000 rabid dogs who need to be put down; but I’m sure this is NOT the message our good friends at Pew were trying to fool us with.

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

It's part of the "fundamental transformation"

We have a lot of Freepers here that are not only perfectly okay with this, they actively campaigned for it to happen.

Rick Perry signed off on Sharia law in Texas.
A lot of people worked hard to run him out of politics all together.
We won.

The Sharia apologists on this forum tried hard to bring La Raza Rick to the national stage. You don’t get to support Rick Perry and pretend that Sharia law hasn’t been an integral part of the package. To support Perry is to support Islam, because that has been his record.

THAT will insure a civil war.

And we WILL conclude the crusades correctly this time.
