We just need to be more understanding of his muslim culture
You forgot the < sarcasm > tag.
The Muslim culture is easy enough to understand, just watch a troop of primates. There is a very powerful “pecking order” within the tribe, with the females in a very subservient role, and the young males on patrol at the periphery of the locale where the troop settles for varying periods of time. The older and meanest members of the troop maintain an iron rule, sometimes summarily killing a rebellious upstart that challenges their authority, or possibly being overthrown in a coup by the younger members, followed by being driven out of the troop to live in isolation or dying shortly afterward.
Oh, the Muslims dress it up by claiming to have a “religion” that dictates what MUST be done, but the “religion” is based on fear and intimidation, and has no saving graces that express the higher yearnings of mankind for a REAL acceptance of a greater deity, with forgiveness and expiation of past error and transgressions.
In Islam there is no justice, no mercy, and definitely no forgiveness. Nothing at all in the Koran resembles the Ten Commandments, and nowhere does there appear an equivalent statement of the Golden Rule.
Join with no reservations and full fidelity to their rules, submit to becoming the slave to the Noble Islamic Gentlemen who swear to that full fidelity, or be executed on the spot for being an “unbeliever”.
And that is how you keep the “peace” within Islam.
