After all that..........here is my Philosophical quote for the day.
The problem with Islam, however, is not a lack of self-esteem but too damned much. This is a faith fanatically certain of its truth and righteousness, the culminating vision of Gods relations with humanity, the ultimate meaning of human existence on every level, including the social and political.
As such, its destiny is to spread over the whole world until the benefits, both in this life and the next, of submission to God are bestowed on all humans, and the dysfunctional man-made values - including democracy, materialism, equal rights, and freedom are swept away.
For however alluring, these do not deliver true happiness or true freedom, but mere hedonism and license that create misery and degradation in this world, and put the soul at risk in the next.
