Islam as a subject has been rendered taboo by America’s suicidal multiculturalism and the insanity that goes with it, moral relativism. Face it, Reader, Islam has ten-foot pole marks all over it, and one doesn’t dare to voice an opinion, unless it is the right opinion–the one approved by the Political Correctness Gestapo.
If you fail to wait for the likes of Condi Rice, Karen Armstrong, et al to tell you what to think, and how to express it, you are placed in a box, with a permanent “Hater” “Islamophobe” “Racist” or “Bigot” label.
But, there is a storm rising. I won’t use the “I” word, if I can avoid doing so, and really– the merits or lack of same among the followers of “The Religion of Peace” don’t interest me. There are plenty of other blogs that deal with these things. One of my favorites is Jihad Watch (http://jihadwatch.org). For a better look at the influence of “The Religion of Peace” on America and the rest of the free (for now) world, I recommend Robert Spencer’s companion site, Dhimmi Watch (http://jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/)
I’ll leave the brainy stuff to Robert, and his brave band. From me, you’ll hear something different. I’m going to tell you about the storm. Its name is Sharia (alternately spelled: Shari’a, Shariah).
Sharia is the standard of Islamic jurisprudence that has been followed to greater and lesser degrees by Muslims, since the time of Mohammad. Sharia is not a group of general laws. Rather, it is a set of laws that govern every aspect of a “righteous” life.
I will do my best to keep my assumptions to a minimum, and draw my material from tried and true sources such as the classic “Reliance of the Traveller”, the Qur’an, the ahadith, and other works. No source is unassailable, of course, however, I will do my best to present “Hurricane Sharia” to you to the best of my ability, and with as much honesty as WordPress will allow me to use (some of the Sharia laws deal with specific parts of the human anatomy and those words are sometimes censored by filters.)
So, get comfortable and make sure your aspirin and Rolaids are close at hand. Never forget that these are the laws we will have to observe as our Constitutional freedoms are taken away, just a teeny bit at a time, and replaced with more “friendly” laws that will not excite the ire or inconvenience our immigrant neighbors of Middle Eastern origin.
The storm is coming. It is not a question of “if”, but a question of “when”.
