Yeah but that one doesn't represent the views of North America or the UK. Not really apples to apples. Regardless, I do agree that in the UK, it is definitely much higher extremism views compared to out here.

But I'll mention it again, sharia law and extremism are two very different things. I don't believe in Sharia law but people should understand that sharia law and extremism do not go hand in hand.

Here is an article to help understand sharia law: http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religi...sharia_1.shtml

Keep in mind though, the implementation of Sharia law varies between various countries. If you look into Indonesia, Malaysia, or Bangladesh, they follow Sharia law and are not comparable to how Iran or Saudi Arabia implement Sharia law.
