I think the point is they're building a separate state ..or a parallel society
They don't accept the courts of other lands.
You're both right. Imagine being born into that religion and particularly being a woman. All nice that non Muslims do their own thing. I think the argument is that a fifth column that is religion first state second is trying to establish a legitimacy here which is contrary to what this nation is and stood for.
It was sold out a long time ago. There's going to be civil wars; and the first will be between Hindus and Muslims. This will open avenues, further.
Balkanisation is coming.
My business partner is a Muslim. I've had discussions with him over stuff and think that Islam's main problem is it's corruptible element from scholars and imams.
The US Marines were founded because the US had just started out. Their fleet was being desecrated by the Ottoman Empire. The US sent Jefferson and Adams to their Ambassador in London. They asked, "why so mean bro we dindu nuffins to you we iz new eah" and Mr Abdul Rahman said, "because the Quran gives us permission to do so."
You cannot underestimate a book which claims to be the last and truest form of life.
Scholars, imams, etc: would they be so positioned if they didn't follow the book to the T? Obviously not. I'm not sure.
There's centuries of this shit left before it's resolved. We won't be here.
