It's like a science fiction invasion.

It is maddening. After hearing the broadcasts and reading the news, the volume of material on this Islamic scourge is overwhelming. To even have to entertain the prospect of America someday having to seriously debate a parallel judicial system based on such barbarity in the 21st century, is maddening. But there it is!

The United Kingdom IS ALREADY caught up in this debate. To come so far as a species technologically, socially, and civilly -- with religion relegated to its proper place in society -- only to discover one day that the most barbaric of them has been shambling in the wake of humanity's great march forward, waiing to grab western secular societies from behind, and, one by one, yank each back 1300 tears.

It is like waking up one morning and finding out from your neighbors that everyone in the next town is convinced one and all should follow the dictates of Charles Manson...or else. Or it is as if Martians have landed and are trying to impose some bizarre set of mores on all humans.

Madness.
