As quoted above:"Under Islamic law gay man given 100 lashes with sharp metal wires in Ghana"
Cite the source of this 'Islamic law,' does this represent the consensus of Islamic scholars.
Or is this the consequence of culture, where Islam has been misappropriated and misrepresented.
The culture there and Islam is intermeshed, regardless of your apologist attempt to separate them.
Further, Geller's own link source here says the act was committed by a vigilante group called "Safety Empire". A vigilante group by definition has nothing to do with "law". The fact is Ghana runs as a parliamentary representative democracy -- it has no "sharia law". And the majority religion is Christian.
Islamic law doesn't have to be the law of the land to get the blame for the acts of these idiots. These morons think it is the law, they use Islam as the excuse, regardless of what cultural backing it originally came from.
Agreed. Understanding that "these idiots" refers to the OP and Pamela Geller, that's a solid assessment.
Not agreed. I am talking about the Vigilantes in question.
Fair point, include them too. It applies to all three entities.
