Stop Sharia Law Now

There seems to be a very peculiar phenomenon going on in Europe right now, especially in those nations that I've always considered to be among the most progressive and liberal. Holland is perhaps best known for its freedom for the individual to live unmolested by the mores of the "less enlightened" among us, yet even there one finds enclaves of people who hold nothing but contempt for their host country. Generations of refugees have come to Europe (and the US, for that matter) ostensibly seeking freedom from repressive regimes only to recreate these regimes in their own neighborhoods. We "tolerate" far too much in the name of being good "liberals" and this must stop. Through embracing "multiculturalism," not only Holland, but many other nations have capitulated to the most intolerant people in their midsts.
While it is good to recognize and even celebrate cultural differences, we should recognize as well that all cultures are not equal nor should their cultural practices be tolerated in a modern society. To do so invites the eventual downfall of our own freedom. The barbarians are already inside the gate.
Specifically, I am talking about a topic that often brings snarls from liberals who somehow fail to see that not everyone who opposes their brand of cultural relativism is a racist or xenophobe.
Some have dared to call anyone who speaks against radical Islam as being "Islamophobic" or worse. Still, I believe that if we do not speak up for the thousands of women who are victimized by this perversion of religion, we fail not only them, but the generations of women who will, in the future, ask why we did NOT do something. We MUST do what we can to combat the spread of Sharia Law. What can you do about it? Click on the title to this post and listen to what author Bruce Bawer has to say and start to think long and hard about the kind of world we want to live in. They're not only "over there" any more.
