Do people know what sharia is?

I can only be certain about one thing, that I didn't know exactly what it was, but I knew that I shouldn't like it.

The reason I mention this is that a poll is out that says the people don't agree with Trump's statements about the ban on Muslims.  Yet, another poll is out that says almost the same percentage say that they don't like Islam.  There seems to be a disconnect there.  The disconnect could be rectified by a bit of education, but who will supply it?  It certainly won't be supplied by the ruling class, including their flunkies in the news media.

Sharia seems to be divided between the Koran and the so-called hadiths.  Many Muslims consider the Koran to be the most authoritative source.  The hadiths seem less so because those were written well after the death of their prophet.   However, it is not entirely clear that all of Koran was written prior to the death of Mohammed.

So, what is sharia?  Not that I know very much, only what I've read or heard about.  It appears to be a code of law, indeed a code that is supposedly divinely inspired.

Thus, since a majority of Muslims prefer that sharia be applied to them, this puts them outside the law of the land.  Our Constitution says that IT is the Supreme law of the land.  Sharia doesn't fit in here, unless the Constitution is altered to allow it.

Do we really want a class of people who consider themselves outside the law?

There needs to be a really tough discussion about this, because most people, I suspect, don't know what they are getting themselves into on this question.  I'm sure that with a proper education on the subject, the public would be squarely behind Trump on this matter.  I think they already are, but are lacking some information that would allow them to be more confident about it.  The culture strongly discourages what is come to be called "bigotry", but opposition to Muslim immigration has a legitimate basis to it.  It is not based upon anything unfair, but the opposite.  If those coming to this country do not want to abide by our laws, why should they be welcome?

Update:

It might be of interest for you to know that al Qaeda says that it is the guardian of sharia.  Their words.  h/t Besty's Page
