shariah-law-pictureAssimilating (reformatted, emphasis mine)?

From October 22 to October 26, 2012, Wenzel Strategies polled 600 U.S. Muslims of high socio-economic status. They were asked:

  • Do you believe that criticism of Islam or Muhammad should be permitted under the Constitution’s First Amendment?  58% – “no”, 42% – “yes”
  • Those who criticize or parody Islam in the U.S. should face criminal charges. 45% – “yes”; 38% – “no”; 17% – “unsure.
  • Americans who criticize or parody Islam should be put to death12% – “yes”
  • Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Sharia.  51% – “yes”
  • Violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad.  25% – “yes”

The post also has this:

Should the mainstream AMJA accomplish its unabashed goal of implementing Sharia in North America, the organization has already issued a ruling which sanctions the killing of non-Muslim “blasphemers.”

and this by Husayn al-Quwatli:

The position of Islam is very clear on one point, namely that the true Muslim cannot take a disinterested position vis-à-vis the state. As a result, his position with regard to ruler and rule cannot be an indecisive one which is content with half solutions.

Either the ruler is Muslim and the rule Islamic, then he will be content with the state and support it, or the ruler non-Muslim and the rule non-Islamic, then he rejects it, opposes it, and works to abolish it, gently or forcibly, openly or secretly.
