So that makes the son's actions okay since he followed Sharia law?
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.
Their prophet, a murderous pedophile, is a good Muslim?
If you do not understand my opinion of Islam and those who try to be a “good Muslim” under Sharia Law with respect to jihad from those posts it’s likely not a matter of “cannot” but “won’t”.
Christ told Pilate that His Kingdom was not of this world in order to explain why His disciples weren’t fighting. Earlier He’d rebuked some of His disciples who asked if they should bring fire down from heaven on a town that had not received them. You just don’t find either Christ or the Apostles ever indicating to us that we have personal license to take it upon ourselves to do something bad to those whom we figure displease Him.
If we follow His example we are only doing as we ought to, and have nothing to brag about before Him.
By contrast Mohammad’s spiritual daddy’s kingdom is only in this world, and it is soon to be utterly destroyed at Christ’s return; but, it being of this world explains why his “prophet” went out killing, thieving, and looting from the moment he had enough troops to put the hurt on his relatively innocent (in human terms) neighbors. The war they are called to is both between groups (ultimately nations) and personal (for unlike the actual Scriptures, Islam gives some license to those who want to personally wage war in its name).
Yeah, Mohammad was utter scum ... and his example is what constitutes being a good Muslim.
But don’t think I’m gonna say those who follow Mohammad are necessarily madmen, insane or devoid of intelligence and reason. If they were all that they would be less dangerous to us, not more. Indeed, many of those defining the terms that inform jihad are Islam’s best and brightest, coming from the most important educational centers with the best degrees. This is not just those in the OIC but even extends to many of the leadership among those actually doing the fighting. These are sober people who frequently have a fair estimation of our capabilities.
There’s this concept of a “threat doctrine”, where you build an accurate understanding of an opponent in order to be able to anticipate what they may do. Rather than proverbially flap my gums about building this threat doctrine let me point you to video series by a guy who actually has credentials ... it’s very interesting stuff and here’s the first in the series:
