It says % of muslims who want Sharia BUT NOT what percent of each country's population are muslims, which is more important. It makes NO DIFFERENCE if a country has only 1% of population who are middle east muslims, as in the USA. Statistics are only as good as the intelligence of the person who is reading it.[/quote]

Also, what is meant by "supporting Sharia" is not clearly defined. There is not a single version of "sharia" documented and in most countries which have implemented a version of "sharia", it is only for personal issues. Does it really matter that 90% of a country's Muslims support Sharia but that only means that they want to get married and divorced according to Islamic traditions?

Doesn't Sharia Law mean the government makes people obey Sharia? We're not talking about people making personal decisions here. You know that.[/quote]

What is "Sharia"? Where is it documented? If a government "makes people obey Sharia", what does that mean? Does that mean that the government ordains beheadings and amputations or does it mean that weddings are conducted according to Muslims traditions? Everyone talks about "sharia" as if it is documented like the US Constitution. That is not the case. In fact, discussing it that way is one of the surest signs that the person discussing it is unformed about what it even is.

Jeff, I have come to the conclusion, we are failing this country by not teaching basic civics, history and geography that even the so called educated have no clue about anything including how laws are passed in this country, forget about how laws evolve or about foreign history or foreign geography. And Math education is terrible, people dont understand basic percents and how to read statistics. Its a shame to call ourselves an advanced country. Thankfully the smarter people have prevailed so far but that may not last long if people like those who post here somehow prevail.[/quote]
