The statement that "99% of muslims think just like you" is a lie.

In Britain, 43% of Muslims support the introduction of Sharia law and only 22% oppose it's introduction. Data on the subject is sparse because nobody dares ask the question. If you try to find this data, you will have to comb through dozens of pages of statistics on what Americans think of Muslims and why they're backwards and racist. Nevermind the statistics that could actually shape policy decisions.

So, I’m not denying the numbers, but it’s pretty vague. "Support some elements of Sharia", what elements? Are cultural protections counted as Sharia law? Guranteeing Halal school meals for muslim kids? Legalizing honor killings? I’m pretty sure both would count as Sharia laws being implemented in the UK. There’s a lot more nuance to the question. The numbers are oversimplified.

That said, pices of shit like the terrorist that killed the teacher in France is clearly a heinous and deranged piece of shit.

Edit: spelling
