Natural reaction

This is good to see. It is a natural reaction to the political pressure that Islam is applying. This is good to see in that it is recognized that Islam has a political side that is not to be dismissed. The founders of this party must have looked into the Islamic legal system and seen what so many of us have also seen: Islamic law is in direct conflict with many of the values that we hold. 'Political Islam' is very hostile to our very way of life. Defending way of life is one of the most common causes of warfare. Islamic governance is VERY authoritarian. Islam has no sepration of church and state. As a result, Islam is a threat to way of life.
