Moderate Islam . Getting more radical with each generation:


Some 57% of Muslims aged 15 to 24 believe Islamic law should outrank French legislation in areas such as ritual slaughter of animals, marriage and inheritance.

It is thought to be a steep rise from three decades ago, when just 36% of French Muslims aged 18 to 24 felt that sharia should take precedence...

The report also revealed a dramatic increase in Mosque attendance, which rose from 7% in 1989 to 40% today. Meanwhile, strict fasting during Ramadan jumped from 51 to 83% and the proportion of young women wearing the veil has nearly tripled.

Social habits have also changed: alcohol consumption among Muslims under 25 has fallen from nearly 30% in 2011 to just 12% today. Only 12% of young Muslims now want Islam to adapt to modernity, down from 41% in 1998.

According to an Ifop study, conducted from 1989 to today, Muslims aged 15 to 24, unlike their elders, are very clearly attracted to the most rigorous forms of their religion, preferring Sharia to republican laws.
