i think where we miscommunicated is our conflicting definitions of "western democracy". My definition is rule by majority choice. which is a "greater than" mathematical concept as universal as the number 4. there's nothing western about it. I think you have it lumped with imperialism which I get, because western governments like to dress imperialism as "democracy".

Which means we aren't arguing at all, because, like I said, I'd be happy to live under sharia law if it was the overwhelming majority and the choice of the people. But I admit this is kind of facetious to say this because I honestly don't think sharia law could ever be brought into being this way. But I could be wrong...
