Islam Is Islam


Islam is Islam, And That’s It

Posted by  
Back in 2007, when confronted with the phrase “moderate Islam”, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan famously responded: “These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.” 
A roomful of young “Norwegians” seemed to be in complete agreement with Mr. Erdogan. At a “peace conference” in Norway earlier this month, they all but unanimously supported a strict interpretation of the Shariah, including the prescribed punishments for theft, adultery, homosexuality, etc. 
The lone dissenter in the front row — a kafir, perhaps? — refused to raise his hand when the rest of the audience did. It made me wonder if he is a marked man now. Was he forced to move out of Grønland or Groruddalen to some more hospitable location? Tasmania, maybe?
