ISLAM AND REASON

In interpreting God's laws, there is a principle in Islamic jurisprudence which states, "Reason is not a legislator." In other words, the only laws that apply to you are the ones God gave you. Reason has no authority or status in creating laws, or even in interpreting them.

The political consequences of such a view are easy to see: If reason is not a legislator, then why have legislatures at all? They have no standing, because reason has no standing.

Waiting for an American Bishop, Archbishop, Pastor, Curate, Deacon, Acolyte, ...anybody ... to come out and say what has to be said about Islam.

Do these worthies not understand that Christians are being crucified ... as in crucified ...in Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, tortured, slaughtered ...as in beheaded ... in Pakistan, Syria, etc? Of course, they seem to find the strength to back up The Administration-Engineered invasion of illegal alien minors.

9/11, avenging anniversary of the Islamic defeat at the Gates of Vienna ... next month. The date is not coincidental in the continuing war to re-establish the Western Caliphate.
