[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's some actual data on what people in the middle east think

I would guess that the general Syrian population would resemble Jordan or Lebanon in their opinions.

And 70%+ of Jordanians support imposition of Sharia law.

Let me suggest that those of us with security concerns don't perceive that middle eastern refugees taking up arms upon entry is the primary concern.  It's more that we see Europe's abject failure to assimilate their Muslim communities and the security threat to their civilization as a result.  Regardless of the fact the vast majority of Syrian refugees are anti-Isis, the majority also hold very deep Islamic values that are totally incompatible with Western Secular values.  If we can assimilate them properly to throw off their cultural identity, accept pluralism, the right to insult prophets, the rights of women to wear whatever they want, then we will continue the American success story of Muslim integration.  If we allow uncontrolled flow on Middle Eastern Immigration without strong assimilation, we will meet the same fate as Europe.

Pretending we are letting people in who celebrate western secularism, love the Jews, believe women are equal, do not have a strong sense of Muslim identity, is totally contradicted by data.[/quote]

Am definitely wondering how the Sharia law question was posed.  The fact is pretty much all the Arab countries have Sharia law for matters of civil status--that is, the laws governing marriage, inheritance, etc.  If you are a Christian in those countries, civil status matters are in the hands of the churches.  And this state of affairs is very widely supported by all.

But the vast majority of these countries have  a legal code not based on Sharia law for criminal matters and other areas of life subject to law like business.  As far as I know that is widely supported as well.  So did the poll distinguish between matters of civil status vs. the entire legal system?[/quote]
