Or that any religion would still be capable, (in the name of an invisible god), of bringing back laws of heresy, apostasy, or blasphemy? I can understand muslims, as a backward people still in the thrall of superstition, being terrified that it may be proven they have lost their culture and history to a pack of Arab marauders, but western Europe had the Renaissance, the Reformation (and the Spanish Inquisition) to teach them the value of freedom. The State should stay right out of all and any religious furore, its only task to be to uphold freedoms so hard won and to bringing in the troops to make sure those freedoms remain.Jude the Obscurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193021757491009463noreply@blogger.com
