islam controls choices

Reader comment on item: A Democratic Islam?

Submitted by William East (United States), May 19, 2008 at 00:46

Followers of Islam always view their own actions as purifying. In every muslim dominated society any behavior outside of prescribed conduct is crushed. Muslims even set up a religious police. And, as always is the case, the crushing action is justified in their own minds. There can be no contradictory expression of thought.

Principle: Those religions that practice self justified & self righteousness systems of conduct always seek to control behavior. Always. Always.
