[From article]
In the aftermath of the uproar caused by Donald Trump's press release "calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," the Pew Research Center released some truly astonishing polling data on the support among Muslims worldwide for sharia law.
[. . .]
Everywhere we look around the globe, there are substantial – and generally dominant – percentages of Muslims who favor making sharia the official law in their country.
[. . .]
It is incoherent to assume that a Muslim from, say, Morocco (where 83 percent of Muslims favor sharia law) who emigrates to the United States would want to enshrine sharia law in Morocco but not the USA.
And this is the valid point Trump is getting at: since there are large proportions of Muslims around the world that do not believe in the West's principles and freedoms, we need to be far more cautious about whom we are letting in.
[. . .]
It is also important to note that almost all American Muslims (i.e., upwards of more than 80 percent) – either foreign-born or born in the USA – are originally from the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, or sub-Saharan Africa, the regions with the highest indigenous support for sharia law.
[. . .]
If we take the accepted estimate of 2.75 million Muslims in the USA at present, the Pew polling data suggests that there are 220,000 Muslim Americans who believe that suicide bombings are often or sometimes justified to defend Islam from its enemies, 138,000 who hold a favorable or somewhat favorable view of al Qaeda, and more than 850,000 Muslim Americans who see a conflict between being a devout Muslim and living in a modern society such as that of the United States.
