Going back thru history, it is not the USA itself, but the ideals that the country represents...
Self-Independence
Freedom of choice
Equal rights for all citizens
education for all
Under Sharia Law, Women are out-lawed to do anyone this...
Under-Sharia Law, each women, Mother/Wife/Daughter, has to be under the direct ownership of a man...
Disgusting...
As Americans, we see this story and say it is her freedoms...
As someone who Hates America and her principals, this is an example of WHY they hate us...
This type of behavior is not exclusive, but can be found in any society that has open freedom, and a decline in morals.
Throughout history, civilizations has arose that have acted like this.
America is only the latest incarnation in this generations-long drama...
So now, i will leave with one of the most powerful quotes i have ever read.
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia
in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture,
sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this
life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his
absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a
great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of
the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund,
Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and
were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of
modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.
