The interesting thing for me is not the NY Times' studied obtuseness--they have become so consumed with hatred of all things that puncture their world that little surprises me there--but that 40 percent of British Muslems want to see sharia (traditional Islamic Law)imposed on Britain.
Sharia is so against what we in the West have treasured since the Greeks that it is difficult to convey to American students--particularly on the left--just what the imposition of sharia would mean to their lives. They don't understand it.
Is it not odd that those who most favor cultural relativism are those who would learn that not all cultures really are equal. I presume that they would learn this as people have their hands cut off, as they witness large numbers of executions (and don't forget: no multiple appeals), as the women among them are forced into veils and as the men among them are required to live modest lives, complete with beards. What would they say when barbers and hairdressers begin to be executed?
