And then one day you close your eyes and you open your eyes and they become 100% Islamic.
How does that happen?
Is it by magic?

Or could it be something that might be nefarious in how Islam is spread?
And so Islam is incompatible for several reasons.
I'll give you just one example, but I keep you here for the next six hours.
In American jurisprudence, Lady Justice has a blindfold on her.
She's supposed to be blind.
Blind to what?
Blind to the...
identity of the perpetrator and the victim, right?
I don't give you a higher penalty if the perpetrator is white and the victim is black or vice versa.
At least in spirit, it's supposed to be that.
In Islam, under Sharia law, it is literally codified in Sharia law that depending on the identity of the perpetrator and the victim, the punishment is completely different.
So if, for example,
a Jewish man kills a Muslim man, that is a very different penalty than it's the other way around.
And so just that tells you whether it's compatible with American jurisprudence.
