Dear Editor
With the New Year's Eve sexual attacks on indigenous women in five European nations, the cause of the attacks have moved from radical Muslims to main stream Muslims. The Islamic Quran and Islamic society dictates that women cover their bodies and faces, that they can only travel in public accompanied by a male family member and now we know why. These aspects of Islam are not seen or recognized as a radical aspect of Islam but are viewed as main stream Islam. Were the attacks provoked by the Western's view of our society and equality for women, allowing them to dress and travel as they please? One of these views has to be deemed as radical to justify or not justify what happened to these women.
Islamists view Western societies and their cultures as those of infidels, while we, through politically correct glasses, view their society as a religious culture. It is those politically correct glasses that have altered our perception of that religious culture for what it truly is, a radical religion. Under Islam women have many fewer rights and a violation of Islam religious law may cause the death of that woman as is dictated by sharia law.
Sharia law is the basic Islamic legal system derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith. The term “sharia” comes from the Arabic language term sharīʿah, which means a body of moral and religious law derived from religious prophecy, as opposed to human legislation.
This is what liberal democrats have and are stating is tolerant of our cultures, and yet reality has, and is, proving this politically correct view as anything but correct. The truth is the Arabic view of Islam seems to be much different than most of the world's view and understanding of Islam. But it's Arabic Islamic refugees we are allowing into the society of our country and you can't expect a different insanity than what is already happening in those European countries. Also, realize these five countries have either a liberal or socialist government that covered up these attacks, which put more women's lives in danger. To understand why it's happening here in the U.S., Google or Bing "DNC vote on God" and pay attention to who is voting for what, what the woman says about the powers of the party, Barack's statement regarding God which is not a statement about God and is the vote handled in a Democratic way? Now imagine what goes on behind Democrat closed doors. Things like Obamacare and embracing Islam with the eradication of Christianity. It's all about votes, with morality being thrown out with the bath water.
