The Basic Question - Can Islam Live with Freedom?

Most people would agree with President Bush's theory that ALL people yearn to be free. From a Christian perspective this is certainly true, as Christianity promotes Liberty.

But, what happens when the religious paradigm of a "people" teaches that Liberty is evil? ...

“…the individual was not expected to exercise any free choice as to how he wished to be governed…In general, …governmental authority admitted of no participation of the individual as such, who therefore did not possess any real freedom vis-à-vis it.”

BTW - This is the best academic explanation of WHY ISLAM IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FREEDOM I"VE EVER READ! Notice, I didn't say, "why Arabs are incompatible" - Tiger

It's looks like we will soon find out who is right.

If the Islamic world cannot adapt to the 21st century and the fundamentalists are successful, the near future could get very dark and very ugly for many people throughout the world.

We could be entering a post post-modern world.
