The Age of Apostasy
10th May 2014
Mark Steyn is not optimistic.
Islamic law is a bitch to live under because it has a complete lack of proportion, an inability to tolerate any dissent from orthodoxy, and a disinclination to recognize the concept of private space. On the other hand, in a western world in which a man can be fined $2.5 million for expressing the view in a private conversation in his own home that he’d rather his mistress didn’t go around with black men, who are we to judge?
Either way, it’s all a bit arbitrary. In Islam, a woman must be submissive. In America, you’re not supposed to call a woman “bossy”, and the expression “Man up!” is about to be banned. These days, we’re all living under apostasy regimes. My bet is that Islam’s will prove more durable.
