I got curious about whether these were mainstream beliefs with muslims. Muslim culture is so varied as it's very large.

Here's a breakdown:

The parent is correct in that most muslims, broken down by country, do support sharia law when surveyed.

Edited because I was wrong about numbers.

The only caveat to that I'd add is that the numbers are probably a bit inflated, given they're being often being polled in countries where apostasy is punishable by death. I'd be a mite careful how I answered polls on religious beliefs in those places.
What do you mean #1?

Christianity has a lot more adherents (numbers wise) than Islam.

My mistake - it's just the fastest growing and the #2 religion.
