It is a common fact that people in a country who share common beliefs and thoughts always want the implication of those rules that are according to their own beliefs. Same is the case here in Pakistan where 78% population of the country express their wish of Islamic Sharia according to recent research conducted by Pew Research Center as The Divide Over Islam and National Laws in the Muslim World.
The Pew Research Center has recently conducted a survey in ten Muslim countries with significant Muslim population. The question was about influencing the national laws according to Quranic instructions. There is a striking difference among people of all these countries. Pakistanis are higher with 78% who cast the vote in favor of aligning the national laws with Sharia laws. While the Muslims of Burkina are less interested in having national laws according to Sharia law. Only 9% cast their vote for strictly following the Islamic Sharia in national laws.
Here is the abstract of the research of Pew Research Center,
In Pakistan, the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Malaysia and Senegal, roughly half or more of the full population says that laws in their country should strictly follow the teachings of the Quran. By contrast, in Burkina Faso, Turkey, Lebanon and Indonesia, less than a quarter agree. And in many of these countries where non-Muslims make up a significant portion of the population, there are strong disagreements between major religious groups on this issue.
Method for Survey
These are the main findings of a recent Pew Research Center survey of 10,194 respondents conducted in 10 countries with significant Muslim populations from April 5 to May 21, 2015. Unless otherwise noted, results are for national populations, including non-Muslims. The percentage of the population that is Muslim in each of these countries ranges from almost all in the Palestinian territories and Pakistan to about half in Nigeria. The survey includes four of the 10 countries with the largest Muslim populations in the world (Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria and Turkey).
