California’s Rep. Loretta Sanchez, who is also running for the United States Senate, is standing by her statement that between 5 and 20 percent of the world’s Muslims want to form an Islamic caliphate, Capital Public Radio reports.
“My comments were that some people have said to me — and it’s true, some people have said to me — that between 5 and 20 percent of Muslims in the world want a caliphate. Nobody has been able to refute those numbers,” Sanchez told Capital Public Radio.
