Islam; the Why and How it Differs from our Judeo-Christian Heritage
Peloni: Nice analysis of the dichotomy which exists between Islam and Judeo-Christian Heritage. Well Done!
Dr. Norman Berdichevsky
What is meant by “Our Judeo-Christian-Heritage”? What upset both many Jews and Christians when President Obama reversed the order traditionally used by public figures and spoke of the United States as “A Country of Christians and Muslims,”? Is not Islam one of the “Three Abrahamic Religions” as many Muslims claim? Both terms stress the importance of integrating new knowledge into an acceptable framework that confirms a group’s most cherished values.
The Torah and the Constitution were elevated by Jews and Americans respectively as the final recourse and supreme arbiter of political disputes and moral conflicts. The “LAW” rather than any President or King was acknowledged as the source of power in the state.
