Most Americans, particularly leftists, assume that Islam is a religion like any other, and will fit smoothly and easily into the American framework, with the exception only of a “tiny minority of extremists.”
Reality is quite different. Islam expert Robert Spencer here demonstrates that Islam is not just a religion in the Western sense, but a political system, and one that is supremacist, expansionist, and violent. This is a key point today as leftists combat anti-Sharia initiatives nationwide by claiming that Sharia is purely private and ceremonial, and that only “Islamophobes” think otherwise. As always, Robert Spencer cuts through the propaganda and fantasy and provides the facts.
