Depending on which study you read, and which item of the studies you focus on, support for Sharia* among Americam Muslims is around 33%, some form of radicalism among young Muslims around 15%.
*:Sharia means for all schools of islamic jurisprudence harsh sentences for imaginary crimes

Radicalism

15%

"If Sharia conflicts with the US Constitution and the Bill of Rigts, which law should be considered supreme?"
The US Constitution - 43%
Sharia - 33%
dk+na - 23%"
