Hey, Did You Hear the One About the English Guy Who Got Fined $1300 for a Joke?

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: a country with a rich and magnificent heritage, one of the trailblazers of global political philosophy and culture, suddenly decides, for no particular reason, much less any compelling one, to throw away the legacy of two thousand years. Its leaders invite in a group of foreigners who believe that those who don’t believe in their religion are unclean (Qur’an 9:28), vile (Qur’an 98:6) animals (Qur’an 7:179), and that they are the best of people who alone have the right to set out what is right and wrong (Qur’an 3:110). The newcomers set out to take over, with willing help from self-serving natives.
