flag A French survey reveals growing support among Muslims for advancing Islamic values politically and adopting Sharia law, fueling debate over political Islam’s influence.

flag A recent Ifop survey of 1,005 Muslims in France found that 43% believe it is legitimate to campaign politically to advance Islamic values in Western nations, 33% support Sharia law governing the world, and 36% think Western societies are in moral and spiritual decline that only Islam can fix. flag The survey also revealed 23% of French Muslims identify ideologically with the Muslim Brotherhood, with higher support among younger adults. flag While 49% said they want Catholics to convert to Islam and 36% support turning churches into mosques, the survey did not confirm claims about canceled events or violence. flag The findings reflect growing scrutiny over political Islam’s influence in France, where Muslims make up 10% of the population.
