Andy McCarthy makes the case totally and completely. Here's the clincher-graph:
...Throughout this column, I have used the term “belief system,” rather
than “religion,” advisedly. Islam, in its classical interpretation, is a
comprehensive sociopolitical system with its own legal code. Yes, it
has some strictly theological tenets (e.g., the oneness of Allah, the
conceit that Mohammed is the final prophet). These, however, comprise
but a small percentage of Islamic belief, which covers the full extent
of political, economic, and social life — from warfare to hygiene, in
exacting rules resistant to change. That is why in virtually every
Islamic society — i.e., wherever sharia is incorporated into law — the
separation of spiritual and political life is rejected; it is why we
find misogyny, anti-Semitism, homophobia, ruthless discrimination
against religious minorities, hostility to freedom, suspicion of reason,
and backwardness in economics and education....
Some of you see in the phrase "comprehensive sociopolitical system" the similarity with the Mosaic Law system--which was replaced by Christianity. There's a reason that Christ did what He did.
Forget about political correctness, please. This is a Cultural War, in the fullest sense of each word. Get used to it as you watch it play out in Germany, England, and Sweden.
