Islam and Honor

Islam and Honor

I’ve been thinking about the possibility the Islam could force its way into many countries.  It already has a solid foothold in Europe.  Especially in France and England.  They now have enclaves in both countries where the local law enforcement is forbidden to enter.  Sharia law is followed and gangs of ‘Sharia Policemen’ patrol the street and severely punish people who violate their Sharia codes.  Even local residents who venture into the enclaves are harassed until they leave.

Moderate Islamist will tell you that their religion is one of peace; but the definition of the word “Islam” is not peace.  It’s “submission”.  And, if you don’t submit or you deny the religion all together, you are summarily executed.  Usually by beheading.

What scares me about Islam is that the fundamentalist adherents have such a twisted understanding of it.  They subjugate women.  They will cut off a woman’s nose if she shows too much of her body in public.  They shoot young girls just for wanting to go to school.

If a woman is raped, she is often punished more harshly than the rapist.  How sad.  A woman is only worth one half of a man.  She is not allowed to be in public without a man as a chaperon. 

Imagine that!  A woman is considered property to be beaten or raped (even by her husband)!  If a man’s daughter refuses her arranged marriage or in any other way brings any shame, however slight it might be; her father can kill her.  It’s called an honor killing. 

A woman can be stoned to death for a myriad of reasons and the world does not seem too interested.  It’s as if the whole world is afraid of radical Muslims.

So, here’s my gripe:  Islam has no honor.  It has no limits of human depravity.  The Quran teaches Muslims that they will inherit 72 virgins in their heaven.  And the most dishonorable action they take is to strap on explosives and blow themselves up killing as many people as they can.  They even kill their own kind!

Honorable people don’t do the sort of things mentioned above.  There is no honor in such despicable acts. 

I, for one, pledge to not allow this heinous activity to go unchallenged.  I don’t ask you to put yourself in danger, but we must spread the word that honor is sacrosanct and Islam is without the slightest trace of it.
