The answer, Sir, is very simple. All we have to do is to start acknowledging the simple truths of our existence.

There is ONE sky above

ONE earth beneath our feet

Humanity is ONE kind upon the face of the earth

There is ONE law which governs the affairs of all men

The "GREAT LAW" is based upon the principle of reciprocity: "Everything in life is an exchange of values for the enhancement and continuation of life." Any thing which does not serve to enhance or continue life is of no use to any man. Thus may we judge Islam and its Sharia. Let the burden of proof lay with the Muslim

Our battle is as much a spiritual battle as it is physical. If we are to win the physical battle we must first win the spiritual battle. We have allowed ourselves to fall into the sloth of relativism and disbelief., This is a pit that will consume us. But, we have a choice. We can take the cowards way out and allow ourselves to succomb or we can stand in our places as men and refuse to be moved. Admittedly, the latter course is the more difficult, it's always easier to fall into a hole than it is to get out. But, if we are truly to live we MUST RESIST. The river of life does not lead into a sewer and the true spirit of MAN will not be contained in an artificial construct of the mind such as Islam. A religion is useful only when it serves the objectives of the soul. The soul does not seek to be enslaved even to G-D and neither does G-D seek to enslave the soul of man. The G-D of our fathers wants us to stand up as men and be counted for the right. HE does not want us to grovel like fightened dogs at HIS feet.
