Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute is sounding the alarm on a recent survey that revealed just how open Americans are to Sharia law.The poll asked a series of questions regarding the Islamic legal system, and Haskins found that the younger an American is, the more likely he or she is to be in support of it.“Twenty-one percent of all voters say that they have a somewhat positive view of Sharia law, which is radical. I mean, radical Islam is associated with this,” Haskins tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck of the first question asked.“The younger you are, the more likely you are to have a positive view of Sharia law,” he adds.But the questions only got more intense, and the answers got more alarming.When they asked, “Would you support a law that requires public schools to teach about the benefits of Sharia law?”"Eight percent said yes, 76% said no, 16% said not sure," says Haskins“Which I don’t know how you could not be sure about that. Similar to the last question, the young people's support was much, much higher. Twenty-four percent of 18- to 24-year-olds said yes, they do want that law. Thirty-one percent of 25- to 29-year-olds, around 20% when you get into the late 30s, and it goes down until you get to 3% for people 40 and above,” Haskins explains.The third question asked was, “If a majority of people in an American town, city, or state were to want Sharia law, would you support a proposal that would allow Sharia to become the legal code for all citizens in that town, city, or state?”Seven percent said yes, 83% said no, 10% said not sure.“I mean, this is overthrowing the Constitution. This is overthrowing the rule of law, is overthrowing individual liberty. You have a quarter of young people saying that they would favor that,” Haskins says.And it’s only downhill from there.Haskins calls the response to number four “astounding,” which was: “What poses a greater threat to America’s future? Sharia law or America’s alliance with Israel?”Forty-three percent said Sharia law, while 25% said America’s alliance with Israel.Bu number five may be the most disappointing.“Which religious ideology poses a greater threat to America’s future? Sharia law or traditional Christianity?”“Fifty-five percent said Sharia law. So that’s the majority, but it's only 55%. Thirteen percent said traditional Christianity. Twenty-three percent says neither poses a threat, which I think is a reasonable answer to have. And 9% says not sure,” Haskins explains.“I mean, this is a pretty straightforward question. It’s either neither, or it's Sharia law. But nobody should be saying traditional Christianity,” he adds.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
