Scourges of God, II

When Sharia Law is implemented, abortion comes to an end. So does pornography and alcohol. Women will not be allowed to go out alone, drive cars, or work outside the home. They will be reduced, basically, to the status of slaves, bought, sold, and often thrown away.

Vast amounts of money will be saved because there is no public education, no social work, no programs designed to do nothing but keep people off the street. The clocks will be turned back, to somewhere around 1850. Nations will slide into economic malaise. No one will invent anything new because such things are not necessary.

Nations are looted, peoples driven into some sort of slavery. Those who convert will be forgiven their debts, so the economic systems will collapse with nothing to replace it. Those who used to run factories and complicated organizations will be reporting to new owners who haven’t the vaguest idea of what’s going on. Nothing complicated will last for long.

It will be as it was when Alexandria was captured by Moslems. The city’s conqueror asked the caliph what to do with the thousands of years of scrolls and accumulated wisdom in its huge library, the biggest in the world. The caliph’s instructions were simple and clear: “If what those writings say is already in the Koran, they are not necessary. If what they say is not in the Koran, they are not necessary. Burn everything.” It was done. And, it looks as if it will be done, again. Will it matter in the future? Few of us have spent more than fifteen or twenty seconds or minutes regretting the loss of the Alexandria Library.

In the Book of Revelations, Chapter 18 describes the destruction of Babylon. Reading it, it’s hard not to be struck with how similar that destruction is to a nation that has been taken over by Moslem invaders.
