Defining God
Reader comment on item: Two Decades of the Rushdie Rules
Submitted by Joe (Australia), Oct 18, 2010 at 03:47
You state that " A sovereign God cannot tolerate democracy. " . Otherwise this is an excellent summary of the Islamic threat. It would have been accurate if you had said :" A sovereign Allah cannot tolerate democracy."
The Judeo-Christian God is a God of love and democracy developed as a result of the Christian Reformation.
Christianity says :" Love your enemies." while Islam says :" Kill the infidel wherever you may find him."
