Islam and Islamism in America in 2015: Part II | Gatestone Institute

More than half (51%) of Muslims in America believe they should „have the choice of being governed according to Sharia.“ Only 39% of those polled said that Muslims in the U.S. should be subject to American courts. Nearly a quarter believed that, „It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed.“ Nearly one-fifth of Muslim respondents said that the use of violence in the U.S. is justified in order to make Sharia the law of the land in this country. – Poll commissioned by the Center for Security Policy, Washington, D.C.
