Islamizing the UK and...OK

Great take by the ever on-the-mark Diana West.
Islamizing the UK and...OK
FROM TOWNHALL.COM:
HT: Atlas Shrugs.
( Diana West) looks at 24 Oklahoma lawmakers who declined to receive a gift of a personalized, state-seal-stamped Koran from an all-Muslim state advisory body. This is surely a surreal confluence of not church and state, but mosque and state, which, under Islam, are always fused in the system of sharia law--a system that denies all Western-style human rights.
So, in refusing the Koran, the legislators weren't simply and churlishly turning down a benign gift. There was a principle involved--namely, that the Koran promulgates an ideology at odds with Western-style liberty. Such a principle, in these PC times, is difficult to get across to people convinced of universalism or afraid of giving "offense" (or both). Of course, given the extreme "offensiveness" of Islamic religious discrimination or the Islamic institution of jihad, such a critique is nonsense. Imagine if the German-American Bund handed out copies of Mein Kampf to state lawmakers, and the ones that refused to accept a copy were labeled anti-Semitic. It’s that nuts.
