The Arrogance and the Sharia


In the wake of the muslim world's outrage over a few cartoons, I wonder how any group can throw such large stones from such an obviously glass house. The captors of current hostage Jill Carroll have now set her deadline for "death according to sharia" for February 26th. Drudge is posting a story about Iran's Ahmadinejad's latest blustering and threats to have Israel "wiped from the map" along with his usual arrogant comments comparing the muslim world to The West.

Why does the Western world stay so remarkably silent when it comes to sharia, islamic law, when by our own measures as well as the International Declaration of Human Rights, which sharia is quite in opposition to? Where is our outrage when teenage girls are stoned and hanged to death for infractions that we would consider absurd, as in the most recent cases in Iran? Why are these violations and threats regarding human rights worldwide passively ignored by the majority while the muslim world blusters on?

These issues should be on everyone's agenda, not just interest groups who get little coverage or bigger names such as Michael Savage who follows his radio accounts of them with bizarre rants about his restaurant experiences. Sharia, as well as other muslim doctrines such as al-taqiyya need to get as much publicity as possible, especially with so many Westerners willing to apply a double standard to islam.

The silence of the world is a huge mystery. The Arabs must be good at propaganda. What happened to the rest of the Goebbels family?

The broken UN is of course squarely on the side of the Muslims - but it does not explain the West's silence and acceptance. Were I a female I for one would scream bloody murder every day. But the feminists in for example Scandinavia are quite enamored with Muslims.

Maybe a psychosis is involved? An after effect of the socialist virus, perhaps?

Thankfully a new generation is emerging which sees the absurdity and the dead-ended philosophy of the left-overs of the baby boom coup. I hope we are just seeing the dregs of that worldview represented at current and that we are the new thinkers destined to take over that particular stage.

I did shout down a rather loud muslim man yesterday in a restaurant and was roundly applauded by the staff as he picked up and left, so I suppose I am doing my share of screaming both online and off!

Pim's Ghost,
You're right! We should be blasting the shari'a laws all over the Internet.

Shari'a law is incompatible with Western ideals, despite GWB's statements to the contrary.

Now, why is the Left so silent about shari'a law?

Thank you jmj and AOW,
my research into the executions of women in Iran has truly made me passionate on this subject, as well as the current campaign to save a 17-year-old from the fate of hanging for defending herself and her niece from their would-be rapists. I think I will try to do an update. These women have paid the ultimate price for islam and are truly victims, and their cases should be shouted from the mountain tops. I cannot even find the identity of one woman who's execution picture was smuggled out of Iran in 1992. I WANT to know her name and story. I posted the picture here previously, but my many mails and calls have proven fruitless as to her story.
