It's obvious that a book on how to live your life written by a man (men) 1400,2000, 5000, or however many years ago is not compatible with the society we live in. A lot of Muslims accept the entirety of their religion, no matter the sense it makes, as it is the word of "god". In most other major religions, people just pick and choose what they like and follow that.

some would disagree with Rajapaksa as being "great"

Hopefully, some Muslim won't become so enraged that people are calling his religion a religion of terror because he might decide to blow some people up to prove his religion is a religion of peace.

What I see as incompatible is Islamic Law and our Constitution.

The situation in Turkey is going to turn into a "one man, one vote, one time" senario. Erdogan is looking to turn Turkey into what amounts to an Islamic " Thugocracy".

Dumbass Progressive/Liberal/Socialist/Democrats in the USA are too damned stupid to realize that under these types of Governments, they will be the first ones to be "put against the wall"
