The difference is, Leviticus is not the basis of law or the political system of any nations....no citizen that does not WANT to be subjected to it, is subjected to it.
Sharia IS the basis of law AND the political system of two nations....and ALL citizens even those who do not WANT to be subjected to it, are subjected to it.
loony.
Exactly. i can't believe people's attitude on this stuff. Last night marley said such sophomoric things to me based on what is just realism about Muslim extremists that I wouldn't even discuss it except to tell him I wouldn't. Racism and discrimination such as has been and is practised on blacks and other minorities is simply not the issue when you are talking about terrorist groups, which DO happen to be Islamic, for the most part. Basque separatist groups were first suspected in Madrid bombing BEFORE Al Qaeda was found to be the culprit, so what Marley does is try to turn every discussion into a general accusation of racism, even if you're just trying to be pragmatic and realistic about Al Qaeda. It is childish and stupid even for his age, and I have no time for such idiocy. Drifterwood indeed is welcome to go and consort with this Al Qaeda bitch. But this kind of anti-Americanism is perhaps most common in Western Europe, the Socialist Workers Party in Britain and tons of French Marxists. They have now adopted Muslims as the 'new oppressed' and this is particularly absurd, since Marx despised all religion (not that I'm in any way a Marxist, I'm not.) It's been revealing to see it, though, because it proves that Marxism is just a catch-all for anything that goes against all Western nations and culture. They call it 'the other', but it is really self-hatred.
But there are a lot of time-wasters on this site as on most. People like drifterwood, of course, want the freedoms of speech that come from Western democracies to be applicable only to the terrorists themselves; they fully approve of things like the riots and burnings after the Danish cartoons and say that 'it's not a free speech' issue. Nevermind that all Marxist nations have never had freedom of speech. This is because they are insidious and are the lowest kind of vermin.
