“This is what makes
people in this country wary of Islam in many of its forms, in one place or
another: the centrality and inescapability of religion, the loss of freedom
of thought and expression, the harshness of sharia (Islamic law), the
patriarchal suppression of women, including their inequality under sharia,
the medieval punishments for apostasy, adultery and even theft, the
insistence on a cruel form of animal slaughter, the violence and
anti-Semitism of many sacred texts, the disinclination to integrate with the
host culture and finally one can argue the incompatibility of theocratic
Islam with democracy. To find all those things alarming as possibilities is
not to be Islamophobic or racist. It is to be reasonable from a western point
of view.”
