In the empire of fear, people don’t dare step out of line, not out of an authentic understanding that the path of moral and ethical uprightness is preferable to the alternative, much less out of love for God, but because they are afraid of what would happen to them if they did depart from Islam’s vision of morality. Were people unable to choose to do evil, their choosing of the good is merely a manifestation of fear and the power of coercion. Those who have no choice but to be good demonstrate nothing about whether their beliefs enable or inspire them to choose the good when they could just as easily not do so.
“JDD INFO. Grand Est: a 13-year-old girl attacked for non-compliance with Ramadan,” translated from “INFO JDD. Grand Est : une adolescente de 13 ans agressée pour non-respect du Ramadan,” by Quentin Martins, Le Journal du Dimanche, April 9, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
The day before Eid-el-Fitr, a celebration marking the end of Ramadan, a 13-year-old girl was attacked by four minors in Achenheim (Bas-Rhin). On a bus heading to her school, she is approached by other students from her school, accusing her of not respecting the fast imposed by Ramadan. When leaving the bus, the victim, of North African origin, was beaten, according to our information, according to a judicial source. The teenager was slightly injured, her face showing redness.
After the attack, the four minors, of Muslim faith, fled. While their identities are still being established, the victim went to the police station in Wolfisheim accompanied by her father. She filed a complaint for assault caused by a group. Faced with this matter, the gendarmerie brigade wants to launch this investigation.

Ah, the joy France is experiencing now and in the future as a significant number of Muslims persecute the unbelievers and their own. Imagine the larger police force, which will still not enforce the law equally, that it will justify.
In the religion of demerit an “infraction” can always be found offering an opportunity for group reinforcement, a “re-education”. This, of course, becomes a magnificent political tool to eliminate competition. Who needs a “little red book” when the Quran and Hadith are available?
And the cost of this forced uniformity? Dependency on the kufirun (disbelievers) for progress.

No righteousness is greater than self-righteousness!
Alahu Akbar!
Can we please have Islam removed from the list of recognised religions and put it on the list of terrorist organisations?
Islam is a demeaning and enslaving totalitarian social order which calls for all apostates to be killed. What more do you need to know to have it categorised as a terrorist movement?
James Lincoln says
Goofy,
To your point, perhaps islam should be recategorized as a “terrorist religion”.
