Dear Readers, please read this entire sequence of messages to understand the imaginary scenario presented by reader Jeff in his above letter. When I began reading Jeff's analogies and examples, they appeared awfully out of place and made zero sense. But, soon it became clear that Jeff was emphasizing the fact that what appears routine or normal for Islam would be considered absurd and/or bizarre for every other religion.
With 14 centuries of accumulated errors, Islam has drifted lightyears away from normal and we have allowed it to drift away. We need to check this drift continuously. If all of us are happy with only one wife, why do some Muslims allowed four. When all of us inconvenience us with democracies in which we have to make minorities happy, why do the Muslims allowed to have theocracies. When our little kids go to secular schools everyday and read the phrase "we the people", why it is assumed that Muslims children can go to religious schools and still become good citizens of democracies.
Relentless questioning of Islamic culture is needed. Thanks Jeff and please spread the word about Islamic selfishness.
