Reader Mail: What’s wrong with Islam?
May 22, 2008
Count Roland writes in with an answer to the question I posed at the end of this article: what is wrong with Islam?
It’s falsity?
It’s anachronistic binding to 7th century Arab culture through Muhammad?
It’s taking advantage of the West’s (its only real competition, given the Truth of Christianity 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 [Lloydminster] because the software blocks “advocacy organizations” - I did not test if it blocks Planned Parenthood or Birthright or COLF or CCRL or CHRC. 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 Sharia 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. human rights commissions (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.
