Islamic lies, lack of accountability, legal backwardness.

Here's an item from Fjordman that illustrates the total nonsense that comes out of the mouths of Islamic spokesmen who try to gild the lily for Western audiences when some new manifestation of Gooneybird Islam surfaces.

Mosque invites Guy knowing exactly what he'll say. Guy says it. Word gets out. Chief bullshit artist announces that it's just Guy's "personal opinion." Meanwhile, Mosque makes like Viacom with the cassette tapes to publicize what Guy says.

Guy will be very shortly be back home, or before some other Muslim group, advocating the complete subjugation of women being required by God Almighty Himself or some other garbage. E.g., earth is flat), war is peace, infidels are filth.

Count on it, brethren.

Twice as dumb as a man.

When Henry II created the royal courts with jurisdiction over all of England, they supplanted the manorial courts and the arbitrary justice they dispensed. This won the Normans a great deal of political legitimacy, as the royal courts dispensed superior justice. Moreover, decisions of the courts were published and gradually a body of complex, known principles was developed that helped further to temper the untrammelled discretion of judges.

No such institutions exist where Sharia is concerned. Sharia is whatever any mufti, imam, or nabob says it is. Whatever may be said about "the consensus" of Muslim scholars on points of Islamic law, you can be certain that consensus has all the intellectual solidity of a sand dune. If some jackass utters something absurd in Denmark, no Islamic body will take away his imam diploma and he'll shop the bullshit down the road faster than you can say "death to the infidels."

State of play: Western legal institutions, 21st century. Muslim legal institutions, wayyyy back before 12th-century England.

The sermon at last week's Friday prayer at Copenhagen's Islamic Religious Community, one of Denmark's biggest Muslim congregations, shocked the nation and generated angry responses from politicians and integration experts alike.

Raed Hleihel, an imam visiting from Ãrhus, told men at the congregation to go home and make sure their wives and daughters draped every inch of their bodies with clothing.

"I would like a Muslim girl to name one heavenly wise man, who permitted her to wear only a light veil over her hair and claim she was veiled, although her body was visible," Hleihel said. "A woman who wants to call herself a believer must cover herself completely, according to the sharia rules."

The imam went as far as saying that women who went to the hairdresser's and wore perfume would go to Hell.

When news broke of the sermon, integration consultants and politicians rallied to denounce it as "medieval" and "bigoted."

The congregation's spokesman, Kasem Said Ahmed, said the imam expressed his own personal views in his sermon.

Nevertheless, the Islamic Religious Community taped the sermon and took it upon itself to distribute it to schoolgirls in Muslim private schools, so that they and their parents could follow Hleihel's instructions, daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten reported on Monday.
