I know I shouldn't be shocked so easily at my age,but I am still bewildered at how so many people can't seem to understand that ALL of Islam is a police state,and IF you ever come to the attention of the authorities,you ARE going to be found guilty of something.
True,most people live quiet lives and never draw any attention to themselves,but these same people are also smart enough to pick up a sign and go march when told to do so.
PLEASE note I am not really making excuses for them. If they are unhappy living that way,overthrow and execute the bastards doing this to you.
But the Police State thingy is what the Democrat (Communists) find so seductive in their quest for totalitarian control. It only works if you murder anyone opposed to the State, which gives them common ground with Islamists everywhere.
Unfortunately, harnessing the FEAR of the masses, the idea that the neighbor who confided that they have that handgun might really be secret police and you could be shot for NOT reporting it makes that crap work.
Even loyal totalitarians can be taken out by some Zampolit, and I reckon the Imams fulfill similar roles in Islam.
These are the world's control freaks, and to be honest, I never met one whom I liked, and never met one who should be allowed to control much of anything beyond their own TV.
I won't live in such fear, I'd rather fight for the Right to not have to look over my shoulder. (Besides, my neck gets stiff if I do too much of that crap).
