don't be so astonished

Reader comment on item: Islamism 2.0
in response to reader comment: Assimilation by force is a crime and to say, "what would you do?" is not an argument.

Submitted by the Grand Infidel of Kaffiristan (Australia), Dec 12, 2009 at 17:24

Yasemin, writing from the secular non-Muslim republic of Turkey says:

"I am astonished to see that everything, life, politics, economy etc. is treated only as if religions organizes them all. Are we still in 13.th century, or are these people who writes here, still live with blinkers."

As you well know, in sharia dominated countries - everything, life, politics, economyis organized around eligion. People on this forum, who live in the 21st century non-Muslim countries- and who may be religious, non-religious, agnostic or atheist or ex-Muslims do not want their native or adopted cultures having the slightest chance of being put back to the 7th century - not the 13th century.

They place their attention on exposing Islam for the great fraud that it is.
