Fundamentalism

There has been a lot of push back against Islamic fundamentalism worldwide and it is about time. But fundamentalism needs to be looked at based on how fundamentalists treat or mistreat their own people. That keeps the conversation apples to apples and more objective. Islamic countries are rife with autocracy, severe gender discrimination, torture, and murder in the name of Islamic justice. In this regard, all those Islamic sympathizers in the west need to focus on fixing that elephant in the room before they feign righteous indignation upon non-Muslim countries for relatively fewer incidences.

In Birmingham, England there are Muslim communities that impose “voluntary” community laws. Why? Especially when English common law is much more humane and fair in its process. If Islamic laws are really better, why has most of the world adopted English common law (and freely so) and not other forms of justice?
