Reader Mail: What’s wrong with Islam?

Count Roland writes in with an answer to the question I posed at the end of this article: what is wrong with ?

It’s falsity?

It’s anachronistic binding to 7th century Arab culture through ?

It’s taking advantage of the West’s (its only real competition, given the Truth of at the West’s core — pace to the secularists) elites’ self-effacing policies of appeasement?

Oh, and Writer, I was blocked frfom seeing timeimmortal at the Catholic high school in [] because the software blocks “advocacy organizations” - I did not test if it blocks or or COLF or CCRL or . I wonder what you adsvocate that the software developers feel is inappropriate for grade 8-12 minds?

Apparently, I’m an “advocacy organization” now, O Reader! I as not aware of this fact. But I imagine that any sufficiently left-leaning IT personnel could find any number of objectionable things on this website, more than enough to justify (if only in their own minds, and not as a matter of substantive policy) blocking access to the site.

I would advise Roland to test the websites of those other organizations. Perhaps a pattern will emerge! If so, I would be most interested to hear what the pattern itself is.

As to Islam, the above are certainly legitimate criticisms — one need not look very far, nor dig very deep, to find examples of (especially) the second two points. Indeed, there is much about law that gives of a certain Bronze Age aroma, and it is only too easily observed that various Islamist groups are now making continual use of e.g. s (and other inventions of appeasement-driven, fearful Western governments) to in effect silence those who speak out against…well, just what Roland himself spoke of in the first half of his message.
