Gimme that ol' time religion.

If two-thirds of Muslims, both Arab and non-Arab, are believers in sharia, then sharia is the dominant belief system of the Muslim world—not just because all authoritative Muslim teaching says it is, but because the great majority of Muslims accept that teaching. Which means that wherever there is a Muslim community, of whatever size, belief in sharia will be the dominant belief or at least an important belief in that community. Which means that in any country where the number of Muslims increases, belief in sharia and the political strength to impose it will also increase.
