Our government in this memo is teaching us a politically correct version of the truth. For example, it tells us that democracy and Islam are compatible. But Islam is less compatible with democracy than is Christianity.
I choose to read that as Santorum admitting that Christianity is incompatible with democracy, but saying that Islam is even less so.
He also apparently wants to "abandon the word terror and replace it with Islamic fascism." Because we know that all terrorists are Muslims.
[Edit] Also, Santorum brays "From Islam's inception there has been one realm. Islamic law (sharia) is the law of the government." (And we should trust him because he's an expert on Islam, its history, and its political influences, right? Right)
But what do actual Muslims think about that?
Experts in Islamic law and religion who are based in the U.S. said they agreed with the court's ruling. Abdullahi An-Na'im, a Muslim scholar and law professor at Emory University in Atlanta, said "there can only be one law of the land."
An-Na'im, who wrote Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Shari'a, said that "if Muslims wish to influence what the law of the state says, they must do so through the normal political process and in accordance with civic discourse that is equally open for debate by all citizens, and not on the basis of religious beliefs."
Why, it's almost as if they abide by democratic rule after all! How can that possibly be??
