How can Sharia Law combat Islamic extremism?
Does this make any bit of sense? Sheik Ali Gomaa has lost it. The Headline: Egypt's Grand Mufti Counters the Tide of Islamic Extremism The Link: http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/world/2008/03/06/egypts-grand-mufti-counters-the-tide-of-islamic-extremism.html The snip: CAIRO—"Maybe we just need to buy CNN," says Sheik Ali Gomaa, more than a hint of exasperation creeping into his voice. After taking more than an hour to explain to yet another western journalist why a traditional conception of sharia law—along with knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence—is the best antidote to Islamic extremism, the grand mufti of Egypt is not able to disguise his frustration. Why, he wonders, does the West still not recognize who the moderate Muslims are, much less heed what they are trying to say? Shrugging his shoulders, he answers his own question: "The western media has paid no attention."

- His (idiotic) point is the same one that Liberals make... That giving in to terrorist demands will mean no more terrorism. Islamic extremists want Sharia Law to rule the world. If you give in to their demands, the terrorists won't kill you. The same argument Liberals make...Islamic extremists want the U.S. out of the Middle East. If you give in to their demands, the terrorists won't kill you. It's a foolish and idiotic point of view...
