Description
Everyday we hear about the atrocities and benefits of Islam, its detractors calling it a false religion and its sympathizers calling it the religion of peace. So what is it: a bunch of wife-beaters who murder and intimidate infidels at will or sincere religious people appalled by the bohemian excesses of the West? Each side manages to gain some traction in the battle for attention and confirmation. Spokespersons for Islam point out the impossibility of condemning the religion and its shariah law because it contains so many positive ideas while different countries interpret it in alternate ways during various times in history. They claim the rough spots will smooth out over time. Well, its time we looked a little closer at the situation, because both the apologists and the detractors have their points. That, however is precisely the problem: The putty of shariah and Islam lends itself easily to molding by both the tyrant and the enlightened ruler. Therefore the same system that brought us the Golden Ages of Spain and Baghdad also brought us the murder, enslavement, and domination of untold millions. This book compares the precedent, on the books and in the field, in the United States and in the Sharia heartland from Pakistan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia to North Nigeria.
