Where on earth has the ‘beautiful religion’ of Islam created anything like an attractive society?
By Joel Belz Posted Jan. 23, 2015, 01:00 a.m.

Don’t you get a little weary of having the experts remind you that you shouldn’t get the wrong impression, that Islam really isn’t as violent as you might have quite erroneously been led to believe, and that Muslims in general are at their roots a people of peace?

Ignore the evidence, we’re told. Forget what your eyes and your ears have been telling you on the nightly news. …

So here’s the evidence we’d like to see—the evidence a watching world deserves. … Where, on this whole globe, is the Islamic society where this “beautiful religion” (to use President Obama’s words last week) is practiced in a way that prompts people by the millions to move there and to live for the rest of their lives?

…  Islam has had well over a millennium to get its act together. It isn’t for lack of money. Islam has had, and still has, access to all kinds of global wealth. It isn’t for lack of power. In at least 20 of the world’s 190 countries, Islam has been dominant in the political driver’s seat.

…But we are not engaging in harassment when we ask questions … It’s one thing for the leaders—and defenders—of Islam to say that what we’ve just seen isn’t the true fruit of what they teach. It’s another thing for them to show us where the true fruit is.
