Shooting Stars And The Clash In The Heavens

The Way to Truth is a website that we spotted on the way to Waco the other day (or one just like it, anyway. I Googled "truth about islam" to find this jewel), and thought I'd see how enlightening it was. Here's a direct quote from the page linked to above:
Whether they might label me as unscientific or a skeptic, it is not more reasonable, in my opinion, than trying to find a political purpose behind those philosophies to attribute to those people who have made gigantic advances in science and technology such theories as biological "evolution" and that the Western brain is apt, because of its biological composition, for science while the Eastern brain for romanticism and the Negro brain for jazz and athleticism.
There's your "enlightenment," kids. I almost stopped reading after that. The writer of this article is as backward, ignorant, and reprobate as that last sentence would indicate. It appears that Koranic morality is subjective and flexible. In other words, it lacks moral absolutes ("right" vs. "wrong" are open to interpretation, depending on circumstances):
Do not kill anyone which God has forbidden, except for just cause. al-Isra’
Unfortunately, "just cause" seems to be based on an individual's interpretation of morality:
There is in principle nothing, other than his free choice, to dictate his fate.
Sorry, but that's creepy enough for a government to subscribe to without an entire religious philosophy subscribing to it. No wonder they have no problems justifying the murder of innocent people. Savages.
