PELONI: What a frightening statistic belying failure in the West to focus on morality over equity. Not all values are equivalent, and equalizing such barbaric practices as are included in Sharia law defies not only morality, but critical thinking as well. Is it really possible that the youth of America are as lost as this statistic suggests…

Alarming reports have circulated about U.S. Muslim leaders advocating Sharia implementation, where their “speeches reveal calls to replace American legal system with Islamic governance and expand Muslim representation in Congress.” According to polls, 40% of the Muslim population in the U.S. would support the implementation of Sharia. But a new poll finds a disturbing trend among young Americans, that they support the Sharia in even greater numbers than Muslims themselves. “Poll: 4 In 10 Young Americans Support Sharia Law,” by Sarah Lee, The Federalist, October 6, 2026:
A set of polls released this week by Our Republic and Rasmussen show a concerning trend among American youth, especially in light of recently revealed immigration numbers under Biden: A quarter of 18-35 voters polled would support a community implementing Sharia law as the legal code for the entire town, city, or state if the majority of residents living there desired its adoption.
Additionally, according to the Our Republic poll:
Overall, 21% of likely voters said they have a mostly or somewhat positive opinion of sharia, compared with 57% who have a negative opinion. Positive views were much higher among younger Americans, including 43% of voters ages 18–24 and 39% of those ages 25–29.
The reason American youth may be trending this way, according to Justin Haskins, president of Our Republic, is a lack of understanding about the “value [of] the Constitution and the protections it provides.”
“Too many have been taught to see constitutional limits as obstacles to progress, especially when those limits stand in the way of policies they believe would help groups they view as oppressed,” Haskins says. “Because Muslims are widely perceived by young people as an oppressed or marginalized group, I suspect many default to a sympathetic view of policies associated with Islam without seriously considering whether those policies are compatible with constitutional freedoms. The irony is that, in doing so, they may be undermining the very rights they claim to care about.”…
That the Muslim population as a whole would support the Sharia even less than the general American population among America’s youngest voters is a staggering find. A Pew poll also found that 44% of Muslim Americans view Hamas favorably, which reveals a great deal. When phrased differently, Pew found that half of U.S. Muslims justify “valid” Hamas reasons to fight Israel; meanwhile, a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found that 60% of young U.S. voters supported Hamas over Israel. It is significant that the Palestinian “resistance” has now found a comfortable home under the DEI framework among student activists, as well as increasingly among unions, and among powerful progressive organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Center for American Progress (CAP), Our Revolution, MoveOn and Working Families Party (WFP).
Given that the Sharia is regarded as divine law in Islam, the question of whether the Muslims who are being polled are being forthright about their support for the Sharia is highly relevant. Islamic supremacists understand all too well the tense tug-of-war in the West over establishing the Sharia, and are adept at stealth manipulation, as powerful Islamic lobbies, most of which are connected to Muslim Brotherhood, wage an insidious war from within. The “Islamophobia” subterfuge is an example of this. This covert tactic has proven to be the most sophisticated and useful strategy in weakening the West from within, as it promotes Muslim victimhood, exploits the woke (especially vulnerable youth), and intentionally conceals the truth about Islam, which is proven over 1,400 years.
Youngsters have been inundated with woke messaging and propaganda about Islam in schools and on campuses. They are taught that Islam is a religion of peace; they have internalized the big lie that the Palestinian “resistance” is one of human rights, instead of the stark truth that it is simply the age-old jihad against Jews and the State of Israel. They seem to be deaf and blind to the obvious intentions of the “globalize the intifada” movement that even the late Ayatollah Khamenei congratulated American youth for advancing.
The Palestinian “resistance” is part of a larger Islamic movement, yet knowledge of this completely escapes far too many of America’s youth (and the woke at large), who themselves feel empowered in defending an illusion of victimhood. They are so deeply affected by a mass psychosis in an age of viral upticks that they have lost the power of reasoning. It does not occur to them to investigate how the Sharia treats gays, women, female children (FGM and forced into child marriage) and kafirs in general. Nor do they look back at history for evidence. With the pompousness of youth, and their own insecurities driving them, they latch onto any popular cause that they believe will engender popularity and belongingness, and they run with it.
Generation Alpha (born between 2013 to 2024) and Generation Z (born between 1997 to 2012) struggle with knowledge, despite the incalculable magnitude of the global digital datasphere, available at one click or touch. For instance, findings of the CATO institute show a dismal level of knowledge among youth. Most among Gen Z cannot answer questions including: Who has the final say, the president or Supreme Court? Why did America declare independence? What is the main purpose of the U.S. Constitution? What does America’s 250th commemorate? From which country did we declare independence? And only half knew how many branches of government there are.
The younger generation feels more than it thinks, and we owe that to a severely inept public education system, and indoctrination camps we call “colleges” and “universities,” where DEI has hijacked a once-functional system with a kind of ideological overreach that has severely compromised academic standards, freedom of thought and expression, and plain common sense.
Youth have an innate and deeply rooted need to feel as if they are part of a cause. The latter shapes their identity, provides a sense of belonging, and channels their natural interests and energy toward whatever they consider to be a meaningful endeavor. When they connect with a purpose greater than themselves, their cause transforms their outlook and fosters resilience. But think about what can happen when this cause is corrupted to suit a malignant agenda such as DEI: supporting the ancient, abusive Sharia, in their limited view, becomes a cause of the “oppressed.” The Palestinian jihad becomes one of righteous resistance to oppression; Black Lives Matter becomes the answer to white racism; and the like. They do not want to hear that long before “white colonialism,” there was Islamic colonialism and its persecution of disbelievers, which persists to this day. They don’t want to hear about gays being murdered under the Sharia, or about how Libya, Mauritania, Sudan and Algeria are still holding black slaves, or that black Christians are getting slaughtered wholesale in Nigeria. Nor do they want to hear about black-on-black crime in America, for which they ignorantly blame whites, since beneath their veneer is an arrogance (intended or not) that blacks only have an identity relative to whites. Yet their victimhood narrative, even if accurate, is no excuse for failure: Jews succeeded post-Nazism, and the Chinese and Koreans triumphed after suffering Japanese brutality and oppression during World War II.
Islamic societies founded upon the Sharia and Islamic supremacist groups such as CAIR for example, are well-versed in Western thinking (or the lack thereof), and they seize upon the opportunities that Western ignorance gives them. According to U.S. Rep. Keith Self (R-Tex.), who founded the Sharia-Free America Caucus with U.S. Rep. Chip Roy:
Sharia creates unequal legal standards by distinguishing between Muslims and non-Muslims, men
and women, and believers and dissenters. These distinctions undermine constitutional protections
and expose individuals to social or legal pressure that conflicts with American guarantees of
freedom and equality. The United States cannot sustain parallel legal systems because the rule of
law depends on one constitutional standard applying equally to every citizen.
Furthermore:
“Christian values form the foundation of our nation and the constitutional system that governs our daily lives. Sharia and its principles stand in direct opposition to those foundations and are wholly incompatible with the rule of law in the United States.
Most youth are dismissive of these words of warning, which are intended to secure their own futures. The grim stats from Our Republic and Rasmussen about the Sharia align with an established pattern of maladaptive thinking seen in years of polling and observation. Most alarming is that a “quarter of 18-35 voters polled” would actually “support a community implementing Sharia law as the legal code for the entire town, city, or state if the majority of residents living there desired its adoption.” This is particularly noteworthy in areas of the West where the Muslim population is rising to a critical mass.
The poll demands that DEI and its communist cronies be recognized as enemies of the American constitution who are corrupting America’s youth. How these foes within are dealt with to save the republic and the future of its youth is a matter outside the scope of this essay, but it begins with dedicated caregivers teaching and preparing young children’s minds. And it extends to a necessary overhauling of the current education system, which won’t be easy, since it involves foreign players such as China and Qatar.
