In many countries of the world certain rules, ethics and values ​​dominate their culture. The structure of society exists independently of religion and its principles. However, the spiritual principles are expected to support overall success in building a healthy, happy, and prosperous community.

These disciplines are comparable in eastern and western countries. The 10 Commandments are a guide in the Christian faith and in India the ethical system is enshrined in the traditional Vedic teachings and in the Yogic teachings of the 10 Yamas/Niyamas.

It is generally well accepted and philosophers remind us that spiritual realities are to be discovered by the individual who is free to venture into spiritual matters either by joining a group or going alone.

It is well known that until a person is confident through intelligent personal confirmation of any belief, he clings more intensely to familiar doctrines and is inclined to ‘go to war’ with those who think otherwise. This also applies to spiritual beliefs. We are more likely to peacefully pursue our spiritual goals to inject the principles into our own lives and allow others to do the same when we feel confident.

On the other hand, the fans are different and dangerous. When committed to a cause without sufficient freedom of thought to bear fruit in personal understanding, it is easy for religious fervor to become weaponized to destroy non-believers. This is what we are witnessing on a large scale in modern times with ‘fundamentalists’ or violent devotees within a faith. The most strident of these are the Muslim terrorists who are committed to killing all non-believers. This violence and commitment to murder is scary enough, but furthermore, the teachings they adhere to allow a Muslim who wishes to leave the faith to be killed outright by any Muslim ‘believer’, even a close family member. The murderer will not be punished under Sharia law and according to his indoctrination, he will be rewarded by Allah for the deed.

This latest startling fact that a license to murder exists within a religion is shocking to us and hopefully unique. However, this gives people from other cultures and countries a reason to absolutely refuse to allow Sharia law to be allowed within any country where Muslims have emigrated and are now residents.

If we weaken our thinking and thus demonstrate our tolerance for foreign cultures at the expense of our own, as is already happening, and allow even a shred of another legal system to function in our own nation, we are doomed. Not only is our thinking faulty, our own faith in our cultural systems insufficient to value it, but we are betraying our entire nation that will surely fall into a state of chaos.

It’s not a good idea to be afraid of anything. But fear is also natural when we lack insight or face a confrontation with a force that we believe may be far greater than our own. Knowledge frees us from fear. If that knowledge is true, it can set us free.

Any tendency to fear can be overcome if we plan to act on our knowledge.

It is evident to many reputable and learned people who have seriously studied what has been going on, even before the Twin Towers tragedy of September 11, that modern democracies are endangered by an archaic and cruel system where love and goodness have no place. Many of these people have suffered personally under the system and have fled, but still fear reprisals after leaving the Islamic fold. Some have had the courage to write about their experiences to encourage Western countries to fight back, despite the shadow of jihad that puts their own lives at risk of reprisals.

It becomes clear that the earlier danger of communism has been replaced by the global threat of Islam, not just from the Arabs and the Middle East but from the growing number of Muslims and terrorists around the world who share the idea of ​​gaining world power through through violence.

How can the world deal with a religion that kills anyone who wants to leave it?

How can we, as democracies, defend freedom and defend ourselves in the future?

One way to deal with this terrorist threat coming from the Muslim people, and in particular from those who implement or support Sharia law, is to stand firm in our own system and protect it with national pride and responsibility as citizens. All democracies in the free world must act as one in rejecting any effort to establish Sharia law or the incorporation of any part of it into their current judicial system.

We need to guard against the erosion of our culture by outside influences that undermine our national self-confidence.

We need to protect our borders from uninvited illegal immigrants who fail to establish true refugee status.

We need to fix our broken immigration system that we have allowed to be mocked when illegals steal a place over legal applicants.

We need those whom we have allowed in who benefit from their new life and who continue to receive additional benefits to be aware that this good fortune is not their right but a privilege. Refugees should be accepted only if they are willing and willing to meet the basic and reasonable demands to learn the language, the laws of their new country, and meet the responsibilities of loyal citizenship.

We in Australia must stand our ground without fear of scrutiny by international ‘thought police’ who intimidate us and even question or invade our sovereign rights.

We need to stand our ground and find a way to prevent the perpetration of the evils that are now being inflicted on our nation and the well-being of the entire world, evils that are effective when we are weak and open the door to chaos.
