Andrew Sullivan | The Daily Dish: A Muslim Writer: says "...In the House of Islam, you cannot have a principle other than that of the community. Every thing you do is referred to Islam. The mantra is 'that's stupid BUT ... But we cannot do this because we are Muslims.' One hears this expression ad nauseam. In the Islamic world you cease to be a human being. You become only a Muslim, whatever that entails.
You are not allowed to be a person with vices and virtues, you cannot follow your own reasoning, and you cannot be unpopular or defend an unpopular idea. You cannot go out of the circle. To express yourself freely means to risk death. And death indeed if you change your faith. Invention itself is considered as an act of blasphemy."
Without invention, no progress can occur. With no progress, eventually civilization will decline and fall and abject barbarism will ensue, followed by-- extinction.
