A survey of Muslims worldwide has found most would like sharia law implemented, but are divided on how.
A majority of Muslims around the world want sharia law to be implemented in their countries but are split on how it should be applied, according to a study.

The comprehensive Pew Research Centre survey conducted between 2008 and 2012 focused on 38,000 people in 39 countries drawn from a global Muslim community of 2.2 billion people.

A solid majority, notably in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, were in favour of sharia -- traditional Islamic law -- being adopted as "the law of the land" in their countries, it found.

"But I would also note that support for making sharia law does vary," said Jim Bell, Pew's director of international survey research.

From 12 per cent in Turkey, support for sharia as official national law stood at 56 per cent in Tunisia, 71 per cent in Nigeria, 72 per cent in Indonesia, 74 per cent in Egypt and 99 per cent in Afghanistan.

But Princeton University professor Amaney Jamal, a special adviser to the Washington-based Pew Research Centre, emphasised there is no one common understanding of sharia among all the world's Muslims.

"Sharia has different meanings, definitions and understandings, based on the actual experiences of countries with or without sharia," she said in a conference call with reporters analysing the findings.

Titled "The World's Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society," the study also revealed many Muslims favour applying sharia in the private sphere to settle family or property disputes.

However, in most countries surveyed, there was less support for severe punishments, such as cutting off the hands of thieves or executing people who convert from Islam to another faith.

A majority of Muslims are also in favour of freedom of religion, even while backing sharia.

In Pakistan, for example, 84 per cent of Muslims want sharia enshrined as official law but 75 per cent believe non-Muslims are free to practice their religion.

Around half of Muslims in the survey expressed concerns about religious extremism, particularly in Egypt, Iraq and Tunisia.

In most countries, a majority of Muslims said a wife must obey her husband, although a majority also said a woman should decide whether or not to wear a veil.

This is fantastic irony

We democratically decide not to be democratic.

I am assuming that democracy cannot survive Sharia law.

No they are not.

A majority of moslems just say such things to a non-moslem audience, because all moslems living within host nations do not want to 'frighten the horses' yet.

All moslems living within host nations understand that it is not in their interests to tell the truth about ISLAM, and their own intents.



Moslems are lying to a non-moslem audience, in their host nations.




THE WORDS OF THE ALLAH, ISLAM'S HIGHEST AUTHORITY...

"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him;...."
Koran 3.85


"And fight with them until.....religion should be only for Allah,..."
Koran 2.193


"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."
Koran 9.123

KILLING OF NON-MUSLIMS IS LEGITIMATE
"...when we say innocent people, we mean moslems."
"....[not accepting ISLAM] is a crime against God."
"...If you are a non-moslem, then you are guilty of not believing in God."
"...as a moslem....i must have hatred towards everything which is non-ISLAM."
"...[moslems] allegiance is always with the moslems, so i will never condemn a moslem for what he does."
"...Britain has always been Dar al Harb [the Land of War]"

The freedoms we enjoy [and which we do not seem to appreciate/value] could not survive Sharia law.

Greens_Win could not survive Sharia law.

All moslems, have been lying to us [naive Westerners], about the nature of ISLAM, all along.


“Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish it through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible..., and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory. ...One should compare the bad consequences entailed by lying to those entailed by telling the truth, and if the consequences of telling the truth are more damaging, one is entitled to lie…”

Moslems who tell us that ISLAM is a virtuous religion or philosophy are lying to us,
and moslems are able to lie to us, because they [moslems] know, that we do not know any better!

Most Muslims Want Sharia Law


O surprise, surprise, do they?

How the hell would Muslim women know what they want?

The powers to be and the press in the west said they don't.

It's all so confusing, who to believe? I'm going with Muslim women want some form of Sharia law.

"want Sharia Law" - wow thats not a loaded term at all.

Muslims scholars can't even agree on what constitutes sharia law - if there were 38000 muslims surveyed, its fairly safe to say there are 38000 different interpretations on what sharia is.

From the executive summary:


Quote:

At the same time, the survey finds that even in many countries where there is strong backing for sharia, most Muslims favor religious freedom for people of other faiths. In Pakistan, for example, three-quarters of Muslims say that non-Muslims are very free to practice their religion, and fully 96% of those who share this assessment say it is “a good thing.”

Specifically:

Quote:

Among Muslims who support making sharia the law of the land, most do not believe that it should be applied to non-Muslims. Only in five of 21 countries where this follow-up question was asked do at least half say all citizens should be subject to Islamic law.
