What percentage of Muslims wish to live under Shariah Islamic law?
• Polls suggest that only 10-15% of the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide wish to live under the all-encompassing Shariah system that dictates all aspects of a Muslim¹s life including religious, social, political, and military obligations. • This translates into a huge pool – 120-180 million – of recruits and supporters for one of the primary tenets of Shariah: Jihad. • Shariah law authorities are empowered by petrodollars and share political powers with sovereign rulers who fear overthrow by Shariah radicals. • If there is a choice, peace-loving Muslims (which are the majority of Muslims) choose to stay away from authoritarian Shariah law. • It is Muslims themselves who are most oppressed under Shariah, especially Muslim women, children, gays and peace-loving Muslims.
