It seems that there are endless arguments for and against this religion or that religion but which religion is more functional than another might be a better question. Whether you are an atheist, deist, or etc...it’s obvious that belief leads to endpoints. It appears to me that muslim belief ends, at least for some, in headlessness. Arguing for Sharia law to citizens who enjoy the freedom provided by the constitution for the United States is a hard sell to say the least. It would take nothing short of fear and terror to proselytize.
The fact that we all have the freedom to speak frankly about this topic and many others is evidence of the superior structure of society in which we live. Whether you like it or not or recognize it or not, the very foundation of rights and freedoms we share are based on a system of governance that the rest of the world does not enjoy. If this conversation was happening in some middle eastern countries we dissenters could all be arrested and summarily executed on the spot.
While I respect the rights of the proponents of Islam to practice their conscience PEACEABLY I am thankful I do not have to live with their system of governance.
