Muslims living in Muslim countries may not have the courage or
capability to fight the introduction of sharia, but those of us who live in
North America and Europe carry the responsibility to stand up to the thugs
who relish authoritarianism. We need to realize that segments of the non-
Muslim community in the West, especially the guilt-ridden Left that comes
out in support of sharia, are practising racism of lower expectations, where,
under the garb of diversity, Muslims are being encouraged to ghettoize and
withdraw from the mainstream.
