What western muslims want...

Saturday, April 30, 2005

The fascinating thing about talking with muslims, is that at some point - usually when they can no longer defend their views - they ban you from their blog. I had one such conversation with a young, naive Canadian muslim called Saffiyyah. She runs a little blog called http://safspace.blogspot.com/

Now Saffiyyah is not a radical head-chopper or Jew-hater like so many we find on-line. She is polite and I’m sure she views herself at the pinnacle of muslim modernity. However she HAS been indoctrinated into the death-cult of mohammad, and when one scratches the surface, she is not unlike the monsters who flew their planes into the WTC.

When I asked her if she would rather live in Canada under our democratic institutions or under sharia, this is what she said;

”I think people misunderstand the Shariah. Shariah law is a system of justice. If interpreted in the current context in Canada, it would not be very far from Canadian law. The goal of justice would be the same. The definition of right and wrong would be similar. The main difference would be in terms of purpose: Shariah law is justice for the sake of God, while Canadian law is justice for its own sake.”

While she did not have the courage to answer my direct question on preference, it doesn’t take much reading between the lines to ascertain her wishes.

The vicious cycle of Sharia, with its abdication of women’s rights and imposition of an antiquated judiciary poses a serious challenge to any western nation. Sharia, whenever it has been imposed means suffering, oppression, hand-chopping beatings and the absence of alcohol. Would I still get to eat bacon I wonder?

I wonder if saffiyyah has ever heard of Amina Lawal, a Nigerian woman sentenced to death by stoning in a Nigerian Islamic court. Her crime - to have given birth to a child out of wedlock.

A French businesswoman in Dubai was gang-raped by three men last year who offered her a ride home from a nightclub. When she reported the crime immediately to the police, they confiscated her French passport and arrested her—for adultery under shari'a law.

What kind of Canadian would WANT to live under this sort of barbarity you may ask? Muslims it seems...
