Monday, November 15, 2004Cicero has interesting thoughts on Islamism and the culture wars. Among other things, he notes the silliness of comparing the relatively tame Christian fundamentalists and the Muslim variety.

Christian free will set the stage for a lax system where people could decide for themselves whether to act in ways that would get them into heaven or not. Islamic submission, by contrast, makes God's will, not our acceptance of it and of salvation, paramount.
