Spot on djf.
I don’t want to understand Islam either.
Be it through our genetic makeup or divine gift from our Creator, every person has been endowed with the instinct for self preservation and the protection of family. A part of that instinct is distrust of those who are recognized as being different, a stranger. A fundamental part of this is the inborn ability to profile and assign risk. This ability is as fundamental as the fight or flight response needed to stay alive. It is liberals, lawyers and an environment of political correctness that wants us to ignore what our Creator has told us to beware of.
You statement that you wouldn’t jump into a pit of cobras it a super analogy that I agree with.
Well, as I have said on other threads:
RELIGION has to do with mans relationship to God
POLITICS has to do with mans relationship to other men and governments
ISLAM is a Political system MASQUERADING as a religion.
That’s what we truly need to understand.
