Back in the day, young people gravitated towards rock n’ roll and drugs. Now, it’s Islamic sharia law.
A huge chunk of young Americans are giving sharia law a thumbs up, according to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports and Our Republic, which found 43% of citizens between the age of 18-24 have a positive view of it.
It’s nearly as popular with Americans between the age of 25-29 too, with 39% saying they have a “mostly positive” or “somewhat positive” view of sharia. In fact, sharia is more liked than disliked among young Americans, as the survey found 36% of respondents between 18-24 and 25-29 said they had a negative view of it.
And there’s a clear generational divide on the topic. Only 16% of Americans who are 40 or older have a positive via of sharia, while 62% said they have a negative view of it.
Something else that jumped out from the survey: young people believe America’s ties to Israel are a bigger concern than sharia law.
In response to the question, “What poses a greater threat to America’s future: sharia law or America’s alliance with Israel?” 22% of 18-24-year-olds said sharia, compared to 34% who said America’s alliance with Israel.
The survey comes as the number of Muslims living in the U.S. has nearly tripled this century, going from about 1.50 million adherents in 2000 to 4.50 million in 2020.
It also comes as Islam has become a bigger issue in local and national politics. In August, tempers flared at a Dearborn city council meeting when a pastor accused the local Muslim community of trying to implement sharia law; Dearborn is the first Arab-majority city in the States and has a large number of Muslims.
“America, we have lost this city. This is a city that is no longer up under American laws; we are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore,” pastor Lorenzo Sewell vented. “Enough is enough.”
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) is running to become the USA’s first Muslim senator. His critics have ripped him for claiming Israel is just as “evil” as Hamas during a CNN interview earlier this year, as well as his decision to campaign alongside socialist streamer Hasan Piker, who infamously claimed America “deserved” 9/11; El-Sayed has denounced that comment but bristled when asked about Piker multiple times recently, saying “politicians and pundits” are trying to make his race “about a Twitch streamer.”
His Republican opponent Mike Rogers has attempted to seize on El-Sayed’s focus on the Israel-Palestine debate in a new ad featuring Black voters.
“I think Abdul cares more about the West Bank than West Detroit,” one “Democrat for Mike Rogers” voter said in the ad.
The Rasmussen-Our Republic survey was conducted on Sept. 20 and based on 1,026 likely voters nationwide who responded over the phone or online. Its margin of sampling error was 3 points.
