To: Conservative til I die
If Muslims as a majority religion want to rule using Islamic law, then that's what they are going to do. I don't think its neccessarily right, but that is the way the world works. A major purpose of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to protect minorities against the tyranny of the majority. If a Muslim government oppresses non-Muslims, it is the right and duty of the oppressed to protect themselves by force and violence if necessary! For instance, if an Afghan woman unhappy about being forced to wear the burka were to blow out Mullah Omar's brains, she should be regarded as a hero, not a criminal.

Oh, I agree totally. What I meant was, and this may not have been a great example to use, was that while we believe the Constitution is the ideal ruling document, most other countries have a different idea of freedom and justice, and conservatives in those countries are trying to conserve a different way of life.
