It is the essence of democracy that people should be able to decide the moral rules that govern the nature of a community. If people don't have that power, then they are living under an autocracy.
No, Mr. D'Souza. If the people don't have the power to legislate other people's morality, that is called "liberty."

Dinesh D'Souza wrote a book in which he claimed that the Islamists would stop attacking us if we would just put our women in burkas and stop drinking alcohol. This article is a continuation of that argument.

Yep. That's one reason why the Founders of the American REPUBLIC had no use for "democracy" and correctly understood it to be a veneer over rule by the mob.

Somebody paid Dinesh D'Appeaser to write this tripe? With actual money?
