I read with alarm the story of Rahman
The most 'moderate' of my Omani and Gulf acquaintances tell me that wonderful Shariah means that freedom in this vein means your can walk around freely in your 'house', but outside the 'house' is just bad for you and therefore "verboten".
So what is it we are trying to achieve, if individual rights among those whom we have promoted liberty, are going to be secondary to Shariah?
Well it's their country.
If by allowing them this path to hell by our acts of obliteration of the Taliban and other like acts (Iraq), then we need to understand what this must mean for the way we have to conduct ourselves in the future.
While I believe that the best answer for american security is democracy everywhere, we cannot make the world america.
We need to decide if this is acceptable, or if, like many americans feel, the world is a contemptible morass, with many peoples unable to have individual rights and democracy.
This debate needs to occur.
Let me expound rather bloodlessy and coldly, and without any consideration of morality.
Imagine if our national course in 2001 was guided by the idea that where Shariah is supreme, democratic institutions should not even be thought of, or promoted, since individual rights must evaporate in this atmosphere.
Perhaps the most expeditious course, therefore, would have been to lay complete waste without a second's warning to afghanistan. Cheap. Effective. Total. Many americans (who come up in polls as disapproving of Bush) I know feel just this way today.
Instead after nearly $300 billion of our money, and thousands MORE american lives we have apostasy bringing death in afghanistan (?), and internecine struggles in Iraq to determine if Sunnis, Shia's, democrats or Gintsu wielders get the power.
Perhaps we should accept that Shariah and legally sanctioned murder for apostasy is just one step enroute to the final supremacy of individual rights.
Or is it the branding of official murder by the descendants of Jefferson and Madison in a long slide to new democracies becoming the mob rule of 7th century 'law'?
This debate in the USA is absolutely compulsory !!!
Now.
