		<description>Ayaan Hirsi Ali continues to cash on the ignorance of the West about Islam, Muslims and their traditions. At the moment she is in Australia, the land of Howard stoking the embers of fire and pushing Australian Muslims against the wall and instigating the Islamophobes and other accomplices of evil against them. A Somali man who was a habitual liar was one day asked: &quot;Ali, when will you stop lying?&quot; He retorted: &quot;As long as the truth doesn&#039;t cath up with me.&quot; Now, Ayaan will continue capitalising on naked lies and mere fabricated stories till she is mowned by the truth. ....

		<description>Jason,

we covered it here:

http://austrolabe.com/2007/02/24/fgm-time-to-rescue-western-women/

I&#039;m not certain, but I think that many of the things that you take exception to in &quot;Islam&quot;, are in fact Islamism; a 20th century romantic modernism.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why aren’t you guys pushing more strongly the obvious response that FGM is actually an example of Islam tolerating a *pre-Islamic* custom?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;s a good point, Jason.  I know Islamic law doesn&#039;t allow FGM to be carried out, but clearly it seems to be allowed under animist &#039;law&#039; etc.  The fact that it continues to be practiced by those communities even though they fell under Islamic rule would seem to support the idea that Islamic law is a lot more tolerant of religious and cultural differences than some critics (and Islamists) would suggest.   

I know, for example, some early Islamic jurists ruled that each community is entitled to live according to its own laws even though the practices of that community (such as incestuous marriage to give one real example) might be against Islamic law.  The state couldn&#039;t interfere provided the people didn&#039;t seek judgement according to Islamic law (by willfully applying to a court for judgement) and provided the behaviour was in accordance with the laws of that community.  It was, therefore, a legally pluralistic society with law being viewed, to some extent, as a private good.</description>

Why aren&#039;t you guys pushing more strongly the obvious response that FGM is actually an example of Islam tolerating a *pre-Islamic* custom?

See this for instance - it&#039;s more or less correct yes? As a libertarian atheist I&#039;d say there are more than enough things to criticise in Islam without blaming it for something it doesn&#039;t actually decree :-)
