Sharia law is growing more popular because when people are cast adrift by the Hurricane of Disbelief, they tend to grab whatever solid foundations or roots are available. Given that Leftist beliefs and nihilist practices have cast adrift a majority of humanity, it is not that hard for any kind of disaster or downturn to rip people away from their roots and foundations, to search the seas for some new home they can attach themselves to. And that new home is Islam and Sharia.
