About a third (32%) want them to conform to the principles of Islam but not strictly follow the Quran, and just 6% say the Quran should not have an influence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older Egyptians are especially likely to believe laws should strictly follow the Quran: more than two-thirds of those 50 or older (68%) agree with this position, compared with about half (54%) of 18-29 year-olds.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A similar split arises by education. For example, 68% of those with a primary education or less want to strictly follow the Quran, while just 55% of the college-educated want the same.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Egyptians with a secondary or college education are now 12 points less likely than in 2011 to believe the country\u2019s laws should strictly follow the Quran. On the other hand, among those with a primary education or less, the percentage who hold this view has increased by 10 points. <a
