The data is missing quite a bit of context though. They are referring to the percent of people who support Sharia Law without saying exactly what percent or segment of the population actually supports Sharia Law.
For example, if one country only 1,000 people support Sharia Law, but 50% of those people support stoning for adultery, that would still only be 500 people, but in a country with a similar population where 1,000,000 support Sharia Law and only 10% support the same punishment, that is still a higher percentage of the population.
This graph would simply state them as 50% vs. 10% which would be pretty misleading.
(unless I am totally misinterpreting the data)
