(Reuters) - Large majorities in the Muslim world want the Islamic legal and moral code of sharia as the official law in their countries, but they disagree on what it includes and who should be subject to it, an extensive new survey says.
Suicide bombing was mostly rejected In the study by the Washington-based Pew Forum, but it won 40 percent support in the Palestinian territories, 39 percent in Afghanistan, 29 percent in Eygpt and 26 percent in Bangladesh.
Three-quarters of respondents said abortion is morally wrong and 80 percent or more rejected homosexuality and sex outside of marriage.
Over three-quarters of Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia want sharia courts to decide family law issues such as divorce and property disputes, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life said on Tuesday.
Views on punishments such as chopping off thieves' hands or decreeing death for apostates is more evenly divided in much of the Islamic world, although more than three-quarters of Muslims in South Asia say they are justified.
Those punishments have helped make sharia controversial in some non-Islamic countries, where some critics say radical Muslims want to impose it on Western societies, but the survey shows views in Muslim countries are far from monolithic.
"Muslims are not equally comfortable with all aspects of sharia," the study said. "Most do not believe it should be applied to non-Muslims."
The "Arab Spring" was not a movement against Sharia, in fact, its implementation has better chances since the removal of the former Egyptian, Libyan and Tunisian governments.Quick question.....................if Muslims wanted Sharia law implemented, then why did they emigrate to the U.S.?
Probably because we have things like free speech, free thought, the internet and all the ideas you could ever want to have.
Why did the Arab Spring happen? Simple.................people got cell phones and the internet and thought that freedom was a better deal than Sharia law.

Actually..................the Arab spring was launched because they saw the freedom that a lot of other countries had (via the 'net), and they wanted some for themselves.
Maybe it wasn't against Sharia per se, but it was against being dominated by others who wanted them to think only one way.
Want to know the biggest threat do dictatorships right now? The internet.

"Most do not believe it should be applied to non-Muslims."
Wow, I hadn't realized they are actually more tolerant than Christians. Christians want to impose their morals on everyone.
I have known Muslims over the years, think of Jehovahs witnesses on steroids. They proselytize like hell and they dont take "not interested" lightly. I don't think Muslims respect the First Amendment or hold to it other than as an excuse to gain a foothold in this country. Sharia Law is not acceptable. Because we separate religion from law. Period.

Is Christianity better than Islam? If so...............how?
Does it generate more jobs, generate more money for the economy? How does being a "Christian" nation make it better for the nation?
