“Not all Muslims.”

“Not all Muslims.”

This was never about how you pray, or which way you turn your head. It’s about one thing. Does man’s law stand above God’s law, or doesn’t it?

That’s the test. Put it to anyone defending Islam in public. Not “do you believe in God,” but:

May I leave Islam and live? May I mock it without being punished? Does the law of my country stand above sharia, every time the two collide? Is the woman sovereign over her own body?

Whoever answers yes, yes, yes, yes AND living it, is fighting for the exact same thing I am. She isn’t my opponent. She’s the reformer, and the doctrine is as much her enemy as mine.

But the doctrine itself cannot answer yes. Sharia is not private piety, it’s a legal order. It claims supremacy. It carries a penalty for leaving and a penalty for mockery. That isn’t an interpretation. It’s the text.

So there is no Islam light on the point that counts. Believe in private, all you want. But the second that belief lays claim to the law, to the woman, to the apostate’s life, it stops being compatible with a free western society.

So next time someone says “not all Muslims,” don’t say no. Say: good, then we agree the political and legal part of Islam has to go. All of it. Say it out loud. In public.

And then watch who goes quiet.
