So that makes the son's actions okay since he followed Sharia law?
You didn't say anything outright so I thought I would ask.
If you read my first post I would hope you’d see my position on his actions.
But since you want me to spell it out: under Sharia Law he may well have imagined that he had moral and ethical justification for his actions.
THAT is the problem.
It stems from Islam itself.
Militant Muslims are frequently not trying to be bad people, they are often trying to be the best Muslims that they can be. So at a minimum their insanity and evil comes from what they seek to obey.
THAT is the problem.
Ultimately you cannot live with Islam.
You either defeat it or it will defeat you. That is 14 centuries worth of wisdom that waaaaay too many in the West cannot seem to admit or want to admit.
Now, I’ll grant you that you were right to say I should be more precise in what I write.
So here I’ll lay it down: we live in a society that has come to hold that tolerance and inclusiveness are virtuous in and of themselves and the result, when combined with things like the fact that same society has essentially lost its itty bitty mind over sex and come to confuse the whole of the pursuit of happiness with its libertine and licentious excesses (not just sex, but that’s a big part of it), is a society given over to evils of all sorts that nevertheless still goes about patting itself on the back, that it’s soooooo nice and understanding and not at all mean (though it routinely murders its own posterity).
And against this popular culture that is insane and morally bankrupt to an ever greater degree is another culture where people are trying to be good Muslims the way their prophet was.
We are in a war between civilizations wedged between the too wicked and stupid to live and those trying to be good in light of a law sourced from Satan’s kingdom.
