A new Pew poll shows that only 15% of Iranians oppose implementing Sharia, but don’t jump to the conclusion that this means most of the population is necessarily Islamist. The poll has conflicting results. At least 60% favor separation of mosque and state, with 30% favoring little or no political influence for clerics. It is also questionable how [...]
