I had to think about what Kash, who evidently is also Kaleem, the same Jihadi stated by Admin, administration I presume posted about David Limbaugh and his article,
"Criminal justice system useless against jihad. This is war!"
Kash wrote:
Islam is not the problem as the author what have everyone believe. It is actually the answer to the problems of America, Canada and the west in general.
Islamization of society or is the best thing that could happen to any society.
It will mean an end to racism because Islam has explicitly and textually prohobited racism and it says ALL races/ethnicites are EQUAL before God.
It will mean less robbery/theft because criminals will fear the severity of the punishment.
It will mean an end to child pornography because under Islam, pornography of any kind is prohibited and thus the problem of child pornography would be solved before it begins.
It will mean and end drunk-driving and alcoholism because Islam has prohibited alcohol. Again the problem is solved before it begins.
It will mean no more economic explotation through oppressive interest rates, because interest is prohibited.
Following is my response:
The Sacred & Profane; Cognitive Dissonance & Reality
Democracy is freedom -- freedom to speak an opinion and choose actions. Competition with others and oneself is part of the apotheosis of glory.
However, there are extremities with this self-determination, the individual must judge how far the pendulum swings or society will if it goes egregiously too far.
Democracies are far from perfect, nevertheless, we constantly strive with our hierarchy of needs leading to esteem and self-actualization as Abraham Maslow professed. We try to progress and balance the relationships with nature, the universe, (religion for many) and, of course, with each other.
But to err is human so we have precepts, laws to abide to that are better than what your culture and you seem to offer: submission.
