What greater form of questioning authority is there than to deprive the State’s politician-run schools of the minds of ones children? I suggest that Ruby bone up on the arguments for homeschooling in the Left’s canon. Long before those traditionalists Ruby finds so icky were homeschooling, flower-power types were homeschooling.

Islamic supremacists don’t promote shari’a, and rank-and-file Muslims don’t observe it, necessarily because they believe shari’a is the best system to govern a society (their Western-aimed propaganda notwithstanding). Islamic supremacists promote shari’a, and rank-and-file Muslims observe it, because they believe shari’a is the will and the writ of Allah, and as such is the one and only way, short of martyrdom in jihad, to stay on Allah’s good side and get into heaven.

This points to what strikes me as the real source of the rift between the West and Islam: The former’s priorities are to enjoy and improve its people’s experience in this life; whereas the latter’s are to do whatever the Qur’an says they must in order to keep up their standing in the next life.

Followers of which religion are most likely to commit treason, mass murder, sedition, arson, conspiracy to cause an explosion and riot? Let’s see. Catholics? Nope – not in America, anyway. Sikhs? Nope. Pentecostals? Maybe – some of them like bombing abortion clinics. Buddhists? Nope – not in America, anyway. Wiccans? Do me a favour. Baha’i? Doubt it. Jews? Nope – not since 1940s Palestine. Hindus? Nope. Who does that leave? Hmmm… let’s see…

Muslims have no place in any civilised society. Period. and they shouldn’t be given one, and they should have no concessions given, of any sort whatsoever, while they are still here. No time off for prayers or Friday Sabbath, no prayer rooms, no exceptions (halal? ugh!) to animal welfare laws. Nothing. The sooner that Westerners realise that, the less likely we are to end up having to kill them all.

Oh, is that your Final Solution? Not even God knows the future, but you claim to know who is going to commit treason and murder and you will round them up with prior restraint? You and what National Civilian Security Force? This is where all the righties say, “Oh crap, maybe we shouldn’t have given Bush all that power after 9-11, because now it passes to Obama, and it was a Democratic President who ran America’s ten concentration camps from 1942-1945.

One more reason for wanting such schools to be opened; it will make it easier to round them up when the time comes to expel the would-be traitors and murderers from our societies.

Or maybe I should quit posting…
